Have you noticed that 2.3.2 is the *development* version? In case you
don't know what it means: it's the version in development. It may not
compile, it may make your program crash, it's API may be incompatible or
may become incompatible in the future, etc.

The latest *stable* version is 2.2.9, which is packaged. Use that
instead.

I don't understand why people want to use 2.3.2, the bleeding edge
version. 2.2.9 is the latest stable version and works fine.

According to wxWindows developers, the "stable" version will not have=20
any more features added to it. The "development" version is beeing=20
worked on permanently and may, in fact, have fewer bugs that the=20
so-called "stable" version. I have been using version 2.3.2 under=20
Linux for over four months now, and have installed the system I=20
developed in a rather large production environment (100+ users)=20
without any problems. Many of the new features are needed by my=20
system, and I now have to port it to Windows.

I agree that version 2.2.9 works fine if used outside of Dev-C++ 5,=20
but will not behave correctly when the project grows beyond one=20
source file and dialogs are created. I posted another message related=20
to this subject a few minutes ago. I can compile the same project=20
(with my own makefile) outside of Dev-C++ and it will compile=20
correctly, using 2.2.9 (minus features) and 2.3.2 (with features=20
enabled).

Just as you have made your point about using Delphi to develop=20
Dev-C++, I think, with all due respect, that we should be allowed to=20
use wxWindows 2.3.2 or future versions, if we find we need the new=20
features. If you would point out the way as to how to build a package=20
for Dev-C++, I will look into it.

Thank you and best regards.

But it also may have more bugs than the development version.
Isn't the stable version still maintained? Nearly every other open
source library out there have 2 versions: stable and
unstable/development. Only bugfixes go to the stable version. New
features go to the development version. Isn't WxWindows following the
same method?


What are the most important new features in 2.3.2?

When I complain about a problem with version 2.2.9, almost invariably=20
the advise is "This has been fixed in 2.3.2. Please upgrade.". So I=20
have.

In my particular case, I develop accounting systems. I use MySQL for=20
the large system and Xbase for our "light" version. In both cases,=20
beeing able to limit the amount of text that goes into a one-line=20
wxTextCtrl and tie it to the length of the field in the table is very=20
important. Version 2.3.2 now has a SetMaxLength method and an=20
EVT_TEXT_MAXLEN event that are very important. I could do this under=20
2.2.9 but it was very convoluted.

Additionally, things like wxWindow->SetFocus() work the way they are=20
supposed to now, and many more. I also use wxDesigner for Linux and=20
Windows, and it has support for version 2.3.2.

Other people may think other things are most important, but these are=20
but a few that I care most about.

Thank you. Regards.

Re: [Dev-C++] wxWindows

[Per W. <pw...@ia...>]

The attached template is one I found somewhere and have been using.
Besides the contents of the template, I had to add the following:

Includes=3DC:\usr\src\wx2dev\wxWindows\include
Libs=3DC:\usr\src\wx2dev\wxWindows\lib
ResourceIncludes=3DC:\usr\src\wx2dev\wxWindows\include

It seems to work quite fine for me with 2.2.9, 2.3.2 or the current CVS
snapshot.

Thank you. I'll look into it. Did you just copy the 2.3.2 includes=20
and libraries to the Dev-C++ 5 directory?

Re: [Dev-C++] wxWindows

[Per W. <pw...@ia...>]

No, I'm using a separately installed MinGW compiler, and as you can see
from the extra Includes/libs, I keep the libraries/includes away from the
compiler directories, since I want to be able to easily switch between
different versions of wxWindows.
