Why not just grab upCase's? :wink:

I don't se anywhere source for wxRapid, don't want to fetch from exe using some brute attempt ;).
But maybe anybody would like to help and create some nice-looking ones :D I would be grateful :D

I remember how actual C::B logo was created and I believe that there are some people here who could handle this work :D

I have 1 question , under the Watch Tab , there is not symbols.
However, if I use the CB 1.0beta-final (the one I use to compile CB) , I open wxSmith.cbp . there are symbols under Watch .

Any idea ? Anyway , I just curious only.  I put more attention to the wxSmith source code study .


Hmm, I don't have any watches. Can You post here their names ? Maybe I've addeed something to wrong tree ;)


sorry, I make mistake  :oops:  not the watches , but the symbols . Meaning , there is no symbols appear under tab "Symbol" (if I run in the developing version of CB)

no problem in CB final-beta-1.0

By the way - I've updated to wxNotebook interface - it should be available in anonymous cvs in few hours


I shall update later .

Hi ,byo.

I have tried to add more information in the resources tree for each node , I have added in

widget.cpp

void wxsWidget::BuildTree(wxTreeCtrl* Tree,wxTreeItemId Id,int Index)
{
      wxString Name = GetInfo().Name;

    Name = Name.Append(" - ");
    Name = Name.Append(GetBaseParams().VarNotStored?
GetBaseParams().VarName:GetBaseParams().IdName);

 ....
}
 
My intention is to add more detail for each resources rather than only showing the class name like "wxButton" etc .

My question is ,what is the purpose of having the flag VarNotStored in the struct wxsWidgetBaseParams.
In the source you mention "True if widget's variable won't be stored inside main window" , can you explain more on this, I thought it indicates whether the widget have variable name key in ? Sorry if this is a silly question because I just get to know wxwidgets 2 months ago...

I would like wxSmith to create dialogs and other resources in two ways - first one is to create XRC file and then to automatically manage code loading / event handling etc. Second way is to manage code wchich would create dialog without loading xrc. In this way each widget must have it's variable (just pointer to it's class) - it could be stored as a member of dialog's class (VarNotStored=false) or could be created locally inside funnction building dialog (VarNotStored=true) - using first one means that You want to use widget somewhere in class - read it's content or change it so it's good for edit fields check boxes etc. Second one means that You don't want this widget to be stored inside edialog's class - good for static widgets which won't change (and won't mess dialog's declaration).
Hmm, I hope I've explained that  :oops: :)

This must have to do with some events processed by wxSmith plugin, not being skipped (event.Skip()) so that they can be processed by other plugins too.
I mentioned it before and byo said he would look into it.

Yiannis.
Be patient!
This bug will be fixed soon...

Hey byo,

Your thread already reached the third page. Maybe I should create a different forum for wxSmith? It seems like it's gonna be busy  :mrgreen:

Hmm, I'm just wondering why RAD tool is such popular. New forum ? Maybe after reaching 4th or 5th page ;) will se how long it would take to reach that - if would be reached fast, this would mean that new forum is a must ;)

Yep, already fixed, in CVS but... i frorgot to add some files to repository  :oops: so You may not be able to compile :( Just wait a minute and it will be there

This ought to be in the readme. Whenever you create a new file, add it to CVS immediately ;-)

Thx,understood.  The flag indicate whether the widget is static widget (keep in xrc) or dynamics created using C++ code . Hmm ,this is important in code generation.

Still studying the source code.. shall ask question when see something not understand ..  thx

Okay guys, in case you didn't notice, I just created a new "RAD Plugins development" forum 8). You're free to expand your wxSmith questions in other threads. Just insert "Wxsmith: " before the specific question.

Hmm, not exackly. The flag indicating whether dialgo uses XRC or should be inside dialog resource, not one widget.

Maybe will describe with a bit of code (example what would be generated from wxSmith;) ):

1). One widget with VarNotStored = false
Code
class MyDialog: public wxDialog
{
  public:
    MyDialog(...)
    {
      Widget = new wxStaticText(this,-1,"Hello world");
    }
  protected:
    wxStaticText* Widget;
}


2). One widget with VarNotStoredd = true
Code
class MyDialog: public wxDialog
{
  public:
    MyDialog(...)
    {
      wxStaticText* Widget;
      Widget = new wxStaticText(this,-1,"Hello world");
    }
}


So if VarNotStored == true, it means that Variable for this widget will be created locally inside function creating dialog, VarNotStored == false means that it will be a member of class and will be acessible from other members in this class.

Hope I've explained this now :)
