wxSmith: enums for IDs
« on: July 15, 2010, 11:57:39 am »
Is there a way to configure wxSmith to use enums for IDs instead of "static const long". I understand the reasons for wanting to use static const long, but there are cases where I actually want an enum... for instance so I can use a switch(){} statement to case through all the possible IDs.

why you think a switch() won't work with static const long? Have you try it? If not, give a shot and provide your results for further analysis by various volunteers.

Cheers.

It does not work, because the value is calculated at runtime with wxNewId() and that is not allowed in switch-statements.

Indeed it provides unique IDs upon runtime. Next time, I should do my homework ;)p

For some reason I confused them with #defines.
