Use the delete() function to clean it up or better yet, try to reuse it if
possible.

When I have some time I will look into why it is not automatically handled.

[wxlua-users] Popup menu leaking resources

[Eero P. <epa...@gm...>]

My wxLua program seems to be leaking resources, and the leak seems to
be caused by popup menus. I have very context sensitive menus which I
pop up, so I am creating a new menu on every click of right button of
the mouse.

Google search found some hints for wxPython where it was recommended
to Destroy() the menu after it had been used. I had no success on this
with wxLua as Destroy seems to be (only) bound to the function
destroying menu elements, not for Destroying complete menu.

Any hints would be appreciated, for example information if this has
been fixed in the latest wxLua version, or if there is a better way
for doing what I am doing.

You are absolutely right. In fact, I was reading this fragment and
somehow missed that STYLENEEDED is going to be *only* called when the
lexer is set to SCLEX_CONTAINER.

Ok, related question then. Is it possible to use SCLEX_CONTAINER, but
still make a call that will apply styling using some lexer (for
example, Lua) and I'll do the rest of the styling as needed?

The Scintilla docs are pretty complete and map reasonably well to the
wxWidgets wrapper.
http://www.scintilla.org/ScintillaDoc.html

"If you choose to use the container to do the styling you can use the

I think the idea is that you will have to style everything all the

[wxlua-users] wxEVT_STC_STYLENEEDED is not called in wxlua 2.8.12.2?

[Paul K <pau...@ya...>]

Hi John,

I've been doing custom styling and realized that the work that I've
done is mostly in UPDATEUI handlers, whereas it should probably be in
STYLENEEDED handlers. I looked at your editor and see that you also
only use UPDATEUI, but not STYLENEEDED.

I did some tests and STYLENEEDED didn't seem to be called at all
(tested on Windows Vista with wxlua 2.8.12.2). You can easily see it
yourself by adding the following code to editor.wx.lua around line
587:

    editor:Connect(wxstc.wxEVT_STC_STYLENEEDED,
            function (event) DisplayOutput("StyleNeeded\n") end)

Just in case I added debug output to UPDATEUI handler and it's called
as expected. I thought maybe the constant is mistyped, but it's the
same one present in the DLL file and it returns 10281 as the value.

Is there some trick I need to involve to get EVT_STC_STYLENEEDED
generated? Is there a working example where it's used? Anyone else is
using this event?

Paul.

Hello,

This is what I get:

manual from lua.51 says:
If locale is the empty string, the current locale is set to an 
implementation-defined native locale.
May be Spanish locale was hard coded in my lua.exe compilation and wxlua 
calls os.setlocale("", "all")?

I have used os.setlocale("C") in my lua script after require"wx" and 
everything works as I expected
(but of course wx.wxMessageBox prints 1.234 which is not anoying for me). 
Would be good idea to
mention in the FAQ what is happenig with the locale.

Displays a message box using 1,234 and 2,345...

Can you try the above commands and let me know what they print for you?

=========================

The code I posted is to ensure that the Lua parser uses the C locale
(1.0 not 1,0), but using require("wx") means that Lua has already
parsed the Lua code so that doesn't matter. I imagine the right thing
to do would be to save the locale before initializing wxWidgets in
wx.dll then if changed set to back to what it was. I don't know if
this is a suitable solution though. If the locale was forced to 'C' or
back to what it was then Lua might work "normally", but the GUI would
look wrong for some people. I would imagine that wxWidgets changes it
to make the GUI right and that's probably the right thing to do.
Hopefully you can force it back by calling Lua's os.setlocale("C",
"all") and if it works I'll put it in the FAQ.

    John

That`s true:
with print(os.locale()) before and after the require"wx" I get

C
Spanish_Spain.1252

My OS is windows. Perhaps the solution would be just calling os.locale("C") 
after require"wx"?

Yep, thanks for the patch.

Use wxScrolledWindow, wxNavigationEnabled has no public functions in
the docs and since wxPanel is derived from it you already have it, the
wxEvtHandler class has the Get/SetClientData/Object() functions so all
classes including wxWindows have those functions too.

The wxLua bindings are loose interpretations of the actual wxWidgets
C++ headers to allow it to work for 2.8 and 2.9 without having to
really hack it up too badly.

wxLua does not change the locale, but wxWidgets might to make the UI
numeric display appropriate for users.

What OS are you on? If you're in Linux you can apply the patch below
and recompile the wxLua module lib. Please let me know if it works for

I'm afraid I didn't make them as they are not exactly official releases,

[wxlua-users] [ANN] ZeroBrane Studio 0.33; now with Linux support, Gideros debugging, and MOAI auto-complete

[Paul K <pau...@ya...>]

ZeroBrane Studio is a lightweight Lua IDE with code completion, syntax
highlighting, live coding, remote debugger, code analyzer, and
hypertext/markdown formatting support for integrating learning
materials (examples and demos provided).

The IDE is available at http://studio.zerobrane.com/. The most recent
version implements a large number of features with several most
important ones being:

- Added Linux support (tested in 32bit and 64bit configuration on
Ubuntu and Mint distributions).
- Added Gideros debugging, auto-complete, and live coding.
- Added Moai auto-complete.
- Added syntax aware indentation.
- Added re/storing open files and interpreter when switching project folders.

Full details are in the changelog:
https://github.com/pkulchenko/ZeroBraneStudio/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md.
Some users also tested and reported that ZeroBrane Studio and MobDebug
work with clients running Lua 5.2, which may be of interest; you only
need to use David's compat_env
(https://raw.github.com/davidm/lua-compat-env/master/lua/compat_env.lua)
to get the debugger working. This way you can run ZeroBrane Studio
(using Lua 5.1) and debug applications that use Lua 5.2 interpreter.

Thank you all for your continuing support in the development of this IDE!

Paul.

[wxlua-users] Interface files are now more C++ like

[John L. <jla...@gm...>]

I have made some changes to the wxLua binding generator so that the
*.i interface files are now more C++ like. More work needs to be done
to remove the remaining special constructs so that a nearly unmodified
C++ header may be used as is, but this is a start.

This affects only people who maintain their own interface files for
their own libraries.  I apologize for the inconvenience, but this
should pay off in simplifying maintenance for everybody in the future.

No functionality of wxLua should have been affected.

Re: [wxlua-users] WxApp::FilterEvent available in wxlua?

I saw that code, but he is using GetLastInputInfo, which is Windows
only and I need something that works on Windows, OSX, and Linux. It is
also tracking *user* idle time (across all applications), rather than
application idle time (which is what I am after).

I also couldn't get wxIdleEvent to work as I'd expect, because it's
always generated on Windows (I get a stream of IDLE events), but only
after some other events on OSX and Linux (as documented).

Also, I registered EVT_KILL_FOCUS handler on the main frame in the
application, but it's not triggered when the focus is changed to
another application.

Right now I simply set a timer for X/2 seconds (where X is the period
I want to track) and track document modification events that happen
during that time. I don't get the exact interval I need, but it's not
critical; I'm never more than X/2 seconds off. I was looking for
something more centralized and simpler than what I have now, but
couldn't find it.

Paul.

How about something like this?

A wxIdleEvent event is sent after every event or batch of events so
you are guaranteed to get it. You could be "tricked" that a user was
active with your app if a different window is dragged on top and a
paint event sent, but does that matter?

Hi John,

> If you can you explain what you are trying to do I might be able to help.

Sure; I'm trying to detect idle time in the application when a user
doesn't do any activity for X seconds. Any activity is defined as
EVT_MOTION and EVT_KEY_DOWN events, but I'll settle for EVT_KEY_DOWN
if it's difficult to track both. I don't want to keep adding my
handlers to all the components I have and am looking for as few places
to modify as possible.

Key events are not passed to their parents, only wxCommandEvent and
derived classes are.

If you can you explain what you are trying to do I might be able to help.
