I'm using wxWidgets to write cross-plafrom applications. In one of applications I need to be able to load data from Microsoft Excel (.xls) files, but I need this to work on Linux as well, so I assume I cannot use OLE or whatever technology is available on Windows. I see that there are many open source programs that can read excel files ...
Preface I'm developing VST-plugins which are DLL-based software modules and loaded by VST-supporting host applications. To open a VST-plugin the host applications loads the VST-DLL and calls an appropriate function of the plugin while providing a native window handle, which the plugin can use to draw it's GUI. I managed to port my origi...
My application is a multi threaded app (using wxThreads). At the moment, the main thread along with it's child worker threads are outputting various messages to Stdout (using cout). I have a new frame/window with a wxTextCtrl, and would like to redirect all the StdOut messages in to it. GuiLogFrame *logframe; logframe = new...
What's the best/proper method to collect log messages from multiple threads and have them all be displayed using a window? (while the threads are running). I am currently trying to redirect stdout (cout) in to a wxTextCtrl but failing miserably when attempting to do so over multiple threads. Any help would be appreciated. ...
I'm creating a game engine using wxWidgets and OpenGL. I'm trying to set up a timer so the game can be updated regularly. I don't want to use wxTimer, because it's probably not accurate enough for what I need. I'm using a while (true) and a wxStopWatch: while (true) { stopWatch.Start(); <handle events> // I need a function for this g...
I need to create what I think should be a simple GUI. I have very little experience with building GUI's. I'm a visual learner and 'wxPython In Action' isn't helping me out. I don't learn well by books written by Ph.D.'s. I'm using Python 2.6. Many of the examples on the Internet don't work in Python 2.6. I need to create a GUI with ...
I'm looking to be able to build GUI applications quickly and painlessly as possible. I'm competent (though not expert, and have no formal training) in C++, but have never used a GUI building toolkit or framework or anything. I am not a professional programmer and am totally inexperienced and ignorant when it comes to building GUI apps. H...
(I have tagged this question as Python as well since I understand Python code so examples in Python are also welcome!). I want to create a simple window in wxWidgets: I create a main panel which I add to a form I associate a boxsizer to the main panel (splitting it in two, horizontally). I add LeftPanel to the boxsizer, I add RightPanel...
My primary OS is Linux, but now I'm forced to write some C++ applications for Windows. I was thinking about developing on the Linux box with cross platform libraries like WxWidgets (and some care about other platform dependencies) and then cross compiling the result to mingw target. So the tools I'm thinking of using are g++ for compi...
I have an application that waits for the user to press a key and then executes a long running method that periodically updates the GUI. sub keypress{ my $self = shift; my $event = shift; if ($event->GetKeyCode() == WXK_F12){ $self->doStuff(); }else{ $event -> Skip(0); } } I would like to have the application ignore...
I've been looking at making a cross-platform GUI application, and I'm wondering whether I should use wxWindow or GTk? I'll be coding in C++, so the quality of the documentation surrounding its C++ bindings is key. I've heard that GTk works better with plain C than with C++. Is this true? ...
Environment : Visual Studio 2008 , wxWidgets 2.8.10 , Vista 64 Code header.h #include <wx/wx.h> class CSend { CSend(wxString& name = ""); ~CSend(); }; main.cpp #include "header.h" void main() { CSend dlg(wxString("Hi")); } When I compile this program I get the following error error C2440: 'default argument' : cann...
I have several buttons in various sizers and they expand in the way that I want them to. However, when I add the parent to a new wx.BoxSizer that is used to add a border around all the elements in the frame, the sizer that has been added functions correctly vertically, but not horizontally. The following code demonstrates the problem: ...
Is there a way in wxWidget to do alpha blending operations such as multiplying the alpha of a bitmap versus the RGB of other bitmap to generate new images (such as rendering a photo as an anti-aliased circular shape). ...

I have a wx.Frame that has only a single child. While setting up the child's wx.Sizer, I can use the wx.SHAPED flag, which keeps the aspect ratio of the child locked. However, the Frame still has complete freedom in it's aspect ratio, and will leave a blank space in the area that is left unused by the child. How can I lock the aspect ra...
I have been writing an OpenGL game engine for a while which uses SDL for all the window management and for portability. I would like to create a level editor using the full engine. The engine itself isn't at all tied in with SDL except for input. I would like to use wxWidgets for the GUI and I have been looking at some OpenGL samples whi...
