Or at the look of the disabled toolbar icons, they look much better on wxWidgets 3.x ;). Plus the fact that only wxWidgets 3.x ships with the Tango-Style Art-Provider.

This is indeed the problem, your application uses wxWidgets 3.x and by default this version includes three different Art-Providers: Native, Tango and Standard, wxWidgets 2.8 only has Standard. Sadly you cannot choose directly at runtime which one to use, they form are chain and are tried in order until the ressource is found. You can either recompile your library and disable Tango (with setup.h) or you can go the crazy route and wxArtProvider::Pop() one (or two if wxArtProvider::HasNativeProvider() returns true) at runtime, but the Standard provider returns quite some ugly icons for some items. Or you can figure out how to access the Standard icons directly, because they are included in the library, but this for sure is the least portable way :).

Hardcoded solution seems to be the best one, just have included the xpms. Would be cool to have a wizard helping including the xpms to avoid manually tiping the complete path.

Also would be cool to have in that image editor, already seen in my Reply #39, an option to include from xpm.

As always, tickets would be a better place to collect feature requests....

At the moment wxSmith suports only cresting native version of dialogs, but an option where you can select generic version instead would be very helpfull.
Also if tallking about dialogs, a posibility to ad a custom dialog with an option to select from dialogs avaible in the project would be really usefull and save a lot of time.

Can you give some link where the difference of "native" and "generic" is described? I don't know what you mean by this...

You mean copy a dialog, or some kind of template? The first would be easy, the second a lot work...

I think the next thing i will work on in wxSmith is to implement the wxPropertyGrid in some very basic way. Since wxPG is supported within >wx3 i think it would be nice to have it...

Have no link explaining the diference between generic and native version in general, but I try to explain in my ugly english. It's all about look and feel of a dialog, native ones use OS native look and feel while generic looks more or less the same on every OS. Generic versions of dialogs have names with Generic inserted after wx, example wxGenericDirDialog.
Unfortunatelly the most generic dialogs are not in the documentation.

So here some example of what I mean, you can create custom dialogs like this:



have created 2 here:



now something like this could be helpfull:



The same thing could be done for custom panels:







Also have a feature here that was avaible for wxListCtrl in wxDev, but missing badly in wxSmith:

I am still not quite sure what you want? A dialog to open the windows, or a dialog to create a copy of a window? Something like the key combination "Alt+G" for source files?

OK, I try to explain again: with wxSmith you can add dialogs like wxFileDialog, wxDirDialog, etc..., would be nice to be able to add custom dialogs, which you have created for the project. The same thing with custom Panels.

There is likely no core CB Dev person who is supporting wxSmith.

If you submit good patches, there is a good chance they will be applied.

Remember the patch should fix/add a single feature at a time.
