Truncated new project wizard

[arst]

Hello,

I'm using a CB version compiled on my own machine
(rev 3557, WinXp).

When opening the New Project wizard, the dialog
is 'cut', so that only the left side with the splash
image is shown. All options, & info (on the right)
are 'cut off' from the dialog.

I have a downloaded 'precompiled' version CB in
another directory. It displays the New Project wizard
correctly.

I've gone over the resource files in the two directories,
and they are identical.

Ideas on fixes?

Thanks,
// Arst

Most probably the compilation of Code::Blocks was not perfect. The First Page of wizard is not called from the wizard's resource file. If you try with other wizard, it'll also give you same problem.

Did you run the update.bat file after compilation?? I think this could be the reason.

I had not run update.bat, so I did. No change, still truncated
Wizard dialog.

So I rebuilt project. And removed the environment var
CODEBLOCKS_DATA_DIR (to make sure it was locating
resources locally). No change.

I execute from both the devel and output directory. Still
truncated dialog.

It has been like this for the last 3 versions I've downloaded
from SVN (Jan+Feb).

Ideas?

It's weird. I've never faced it.

May be something strange.

If you clicked on "don't show this page" in the wizard it used to cause this problem.

Re-run update.bat and accept the wizard splash pages as is and see if the problem goes away.

Just a guess.

Since you compiled it yourself, you should give us some more info.
E.g. what wx version did you use to compile C::B??? (we officially support 2.6.x)

[arst]

More info: WxWidgets 2.8 (works just fine otherwise apart from
compiler warnings). It is Svn version 3557.

I rerun update.bat also. No change.

When I run CB downloaded as a binary from Nightly, the project
wizard comes out right.

OK

I checked around for option: "don't show this page", and since
I never get the full dialog, I cannot see it.

All project types behaves this way.

I could very well have checked this box at an earlier time.

You could rename your default.conf and start a new one to see if the wizard corrects itself.

More info: WxWidgets 2.8

There's a patch for this issue with wx2.8. It's either in the forums or the patch tracker (can't recall now, sorry).

I have the same problem will look and verify that I am running the newest 2.8 cvs branch, will also see if problem exists under 2.9 cvs head.

void Wiz::Finalize()
{
    // chain pages
    for (size_t i = 1; i < m_Pages.GetCount(); ++i)
        wxWizardPageSimple::Chain(m_Pages[i - 1], m_Pages);

    // allow the wizard to size itself around the pages
#if wxCHECK_VERSION(2, 8, 0)
        m_pWizard->GetPageAreaSizer()->Add(m_Pages[0]);
#else
    for (size_t i = 1; i < m_Pages.GetCount(); ++i)
        m_pWizard->GetPageAreaSizer()->Add(m_Pages);
#endif

    m_pWizard->Fit();
}

This is the fix for the Project wizard.....

Patch code version of above fix, I have tested it and it worked for me.

Hello again,

Patch applied, this worked nicely.

I hope the fix makes it into svn soon.

Thanks!
