Title: Viewing the Property Grid
Post by: hibbity on June 02, 2011, 05:25:33 pm

Using C::B 10.05 on Ubuntu 11.04

The Property Grid panel (displays a widget's attributes, such as name, ID, size, etc) has disappeared when I run codeblocks and load any previous project.  How can I bring it back?  There does not appear to be anything on the View menu that would affect its visibility.  Removing ~/.codeblocks/* then reinstalling codeblocks and codeblocks-contrib does not resolve the problem.

Ideas?

Do you have the wxsmith plugin installed and enabled?

Yes, wxsmith version 1.0 is installed and enabled.

Not sure if this is related, but...Creating a new project results in a wxSmith error.

New-->Project-->WxWidgets project -->Go -->wxWidgets 2.8.x -->Next -->Project Title = wx_frameApp -->Next -->Author-->Next
Preferred GUI builder = wxSmith, Application Type = Frame Based -->Next -->Compiler=GNU GCC +Create Debug +Create Release -->Next
+Use Advanced Settings +Use Unicode Build of wxWidgets +Create Empty Project -->Finish.

Dialog box pops up: "Couldn't parse newly created Wxs file.  wxSmith support is disabled."  See attached image file.

Project file was borked in some way (mis-configured) so restoring from saved archive brought back the Property Grid.
Always good idea to have a backup.
