[Dev-C++] wxwindows

[michel.weinachter <mic...@fr...>]

(bonjour,)
hello,


You could find in your dev-c++ directory a new folder docs with various 
files. The most important is  wx.chm file.
Zero : read "topics overview"->
*Notes on using the reference* <wx450.htm#referencenotes>
*Writing a wxWindows application: a rough guide* <wx451.htm#roughguide>
*wxWindows Hello World sample* <wx452.htm#helloworld>
*wxWindows samples* <wx453.htm#samples>
*wxApp overview* <wx454.htm#wxappoverview>

First create a new wxwindows project and read the comments.
Second compile it click on the classes tab : you now have the list off 
all the classes of the project .
You could also add in the editor properties->completion the file 
include\wx\wx.h (very useful).

you can create a button add
   wxButton *toto= new wxButton(frame, 2, "this is a test");
   toto->SetBackgroundColour(wxColour(120,0,0));

just after :
---------
bool MyApp::OnInit()
{
    // create the main application window
    MyFrame *frame = new MyFrame(_T("Minimal wxWindows App"),
                                 wxPoint(50, 50), wxSize(450, 340));
-------------

this way is not the best, but it's very simple.

You could download wxwindows for windows at :
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/wxwindows/wxMSW-2.4.0-setup.zip

In the samples directory you will find a lot of examples

and
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/wxwindows/wxWindows-2.4.0-WinHelp.

for the winhelp file that you can add to the dev-cpp help menu.

finaly, if you want build complex apps use the xrc contrib (that should 
be in the main library soon). To edit xrc files I am using xrced 
provided with wxPython.

bye
