Invalid DC for DoGetTextExtent

Post by ninja9578 »

This code is giving me a problem:

Code: Select all

     wxMemoryDC memdc;
     long int x, y;
     string temp = "Hello World!";
     if (ffont -> Ok()){
        memdc.SetFont(*ffont);
        memdc.GetTextExtent(wxString::FromAscii(temp.c_str()), &x, &y);
     }
It works under windows, but not under OSX. A popup window comes up displaying:
../src/common/dcgraph.cpp(825): assert "Ok()" failed in DoGetTextExtent(): wxGCDC(cg)::DoGetTextExtent - invalid DC
