wxWidgets/C++ Tabbed Text Editor

Post by timw4mail »

I'm trying to write a simple text-editor with tabs to open multiple documents. I'm currently simply using the wxTextCtrl, but plan on moving to wxScintilla or the StyledTextCtrl.

I'm getting a runtime error when I click "new" under the toolbar or the menu... is there something I'm really off on?
I'm also getting a
bitmaps/help.xpm:71: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to 'char*'
error for all the xpm files.

Here's what I have:

How are your xpm bitmaps declared in the header files? Looks like you are using "string" when it should be something like "static const char *const xxx_xpm[]". Do your xpm headers actually contain xpm character arrays?

The xpm files are just included, like shown in the code in the post above. The first section is the header file, and the second is the actual source file.

I think that those .xpm files are wrong though. Take a look at samples/sample.xpm (open with a text editor) to see what they must be like.

You should also move the xpm #includes to the CWebGUI.cpp to avoid multiple declarations should you include CWebGUI.h in other sources.

I won't be using the entire header file in another project, which is why I have the classes in that header file.

I don't quite understand what you mean about the xpm files.
The ones that are used for the toolbar are from the wxWidgets samples. The "app.xpm" was crated by the GIMP from an icon.

Code: Select all

void MyFrame::OnNew(wxCommandEvent& event){ 
    m_text = new wxTextCtrl; 
    Notebook->AddPage(m_text, _T("Untitled %d"), ++gs_nFrames); 
    //Notebook->SetIcon(wxIcon(child_xpm)); 
    
}
You are using the default constructor for the text control. I haven't looked deeply into this but it maybe that you need to use the second form of constructor specifying a parent window and an ID for the control, otherwise it may not be constructed before you are using it.

I am not getting the warnings about the xpms with GCC on Windows here, may have to do with your compiler or its settings.

There are multiple errors as far as I can see.

You create _local_ controls in MyApp::OnInit():

Code: Select all

wxNotebook* Notebook = new wxNotebook(frame, wxID_ANY, wxDefaultPosition, wxSize(640,480), wxNB_LEFT);
wxTextCtrl* m_text = new wxTextCtrl( Notebook, wxID_ANY, _T(""), wxDefaultPosition, wxDefaultSize, wxTE_MULTILINE );
and then reference an _uninitialized_ variable in MyFrame::OnNew():

Code: Select all

Notebook->AddPage(m_text, _T("Untitled %d"));
Where does "Notebook" in MyFrame come from? It's a pointer declaration in the header which never gets initialized.

Code: Select all

class MyFrame : public wxFrame {
public:
    ...
    wxNotebook* Notebook;/*(wxWindow *parent, const wxWindowID id, const wxString& title,
            const wxPoint& pos, const wxSize& size, const long type);*/
    wxTextCtrl* m_text;

There are multiple errors as far as I can see.

You create _local_ controls in MyApp::OnInit():

Code: Select all

wxNotebook* Notebook = new wxNotebook(frame, wxID_ANY, wxDefaultPosition, wxSize(640,480), wxNB_LEFT);
wxTextCtrl* m_text = new wxTextCtrl( Notebook, wxID_ANY, _T(""), wxDefaultPosition, wxDefaultSize, wxTE_MULTILINE );
How would I make them global controls, then?

I am not by any means proficient with classes and pointers, so I don't really understand all of what goes into this yet.

Move the control creation where it belongs (to the MyFrame class). See my previous post. :)

You have to change the #include I modified back:

#include "CWebGUIMain.h" //For Includes and Classes
to
#include "CWebGUI.h" //For Includes and Classes

Now its working, but the textCtrl isn't multiline.
Where would I declare that?

You can remove the definition of the textctrl from the header file since it's not used anywhere:

wxTextCtrl* m_text; <-

Then you can add flags to the control:

Code: Select all

void MyFrame::OnNew(wxCommandEvent& event){
    wxTextCtrl* text = new wxTextCtrl(Notebook,
		wxID_ANY, 		// ID
		_T(""), 		// Initial text
		wxDefaultPosition, 	// Position
		wxDefaultSize, 		// Size
		wxTE_MULTILINE);	// Flags
    Notebook->AddPage(text, wxString::Format(_T("Untitled %d"), gs_nFrames++));
    //Notebook->SetIcon(wxIcon(child_xpm));
}

}
Now, for a different issue: (I hope you aren't tired of me)
I want to add an icon and/or button on each tab to close it.

How would I go about doing this?
