[Dev-C++] wxDialog problems, resource file not being referenced?

[Shayne K. <err...@ne...>]

Hello everyone,

I'm not sure if this question has been asked, since the mailing list
search functionality is broken on SF.

First of all, I'm trying to create an app using wxWindows.  I've derived
the wxDialog class and everything compiles.  When I run the application
(app works fine to a point)
and execute the code to load up the dialog, I get a Debug message that
says the following:

Assert failed in file ../../src/msw/dialog.cpp at line 174: Failed to
create dialog.  You probably forgot to include wx/msw/wx.rc in your
resources.  Do you want to stop the program?  You can also choose [Cancel]
to suppress further warnings.

I'm pretty sure everything is set up (I did a base install of dev-cpp,
wxWindows libs and used the basic template for the dev-cpp wxWindows app).
Here's the code I used to derive/call wxDialog, nothing fancy:

/**
 * I don't think you need to see the header.. you can guess what that
 * looks like :)
 */
diaAddItem::diaAddItem
 ( wxWindow *parent, wxWindowID id,
   const wxString &title,
   const wxPoint &position, const wxSize& size,
   long style
 ) :
 wxDialog( parent, id, title, position, size, style)
{

}

..... and then I just call it like this:

     diaAddItem aboutDialog (this, -1,
                 "Your very own dialog",
                 wxPoint(100,100),
                 wxSize(200,200)
               );

    aboutDialog.ShowModal();



This is called in an event function AppFrame::OnAbout(wxCommandEvent
&WXUNUSED(event));

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance
