[jazzplusplus-devel] Re: wx 2.5.1?

[joakim v. <jo...@ve...>]

Yes, I was originally going to code it that way, I guess I should.

(just a small note, when I first made the port this method wasnt 
possible because
the OnPaint message didnt work, you could only derive the OnDraw method.
I changed the drawing to be based on the OnPaint message now, and it 
seems to work)

But there is another wx2.5 benefit.

There is a gtk2 port for wx 2.5. This means
proper unicode support is possible.

Gtk1.2 apps don't work very well with Swedish characters, which is my 
native language.
The GTK1.2 apps in rh9 look very unimpressive in non english utf-8 locales,
for instance Audacity.

So I'm going to give it a try to get it compiling in 2.5 without 
breaking it in 2.4.

We can use the wx version variable from configure to ifdef versions of code.

Cheers,
/Joakim
