Wxwidgets console program

Post by gianjack » Mon Mar 31, am. Privacy Terms. Quick links. Do you have a question about makefiles, a compiler or IDE you are using and need to know how to set it up for wxWidgets or why it doesn't compile but other IDE's do? Post your questions here. Post by gianjack » Sat Mar 29, pm I have used wxwidgets in the past and I have compiled the libraries of wxwidgtes 3.

So I was using a console program with wxwidgets libraries. There are many advantages of using GitHub Issues instead of our own Trac installation, e. GitHub web UI is easier to use and much faster. However this is also the main disadvantage of this change: you now need to have a GitHub account in order to report issues in wxWidgets. We hope that relatively few people will be negatively affected by this, but for those who are, please post your bug reports to our mailing lists instead.

And please also use the mailing lists to let us know if you encounter any problems after this migration! A quick overview of the recent changes and improvements in wxWidgets: since 3. But now you can also easily provide your own high resolution version to avoid the bitmaps in your application looking blurry in high DPI. This already works today with wxButton and all the derived classes , wxStaticBitmap and wxToolBar and all the other classes using bitmaps will support the new API in wx 3. The next big addition to the API is the wxUILocale class , which provides a new and more flexible way to get locale-specific information than the old wxLocale.

While it does nothing very useful, it introduces a couple of important concepts and explains how to write a working wxWidgets application. Trying building and running this application is also a good way of checking that wxWidgets is correctly installed on your system. And if you haven't installed wxWidgets yet, please do it first. First, you have to include wxWidgets' header files, of course. Practically every app should define a new class derived from wxApp.

By overriding wxApp 's OnInit virtual method the program can be initialized, e. The main window is created by deriving a class from wxFrame and giving it a menu and a status bar in its constructor. Also, any class that wishes to respond to an "event" such as mouse clicks, messages from the menu, or a button must declare an event table using the macro below. In our example, we react to three menu items: our custom "Hello", and the "Exit" and "About" items any program should normally implement the latter two.

Notice that these handlers don't need to be virtual or public. In order to be able to react to a menu command, it must be given a unique identifier which can be defined as a const variable or an enum element.
