overlays and layers (wxSmith)
« on: April 07, 2008, 02:51:53 pm »
Hi gang

I have a GUI design model and I'm wondering if it is possible with wxSmith or (failing that...) with wxWidgets 'manually' ??  So to speak.

I want to have a panel in something like a Notebook container.  On the panel in question, I want to set-up two or more overlay content frames.

Ideally I wanted to avoid a more low level approach.  One thing I've seen in the past is that once you step outside the 'agreements' and 'conventions' of superb tools like wxSmith and wsWidgets it boosts the chances of unforeseen results.

Is there a control, or items, that can be stacked onto my target panel that will let me produce overlays in a tidy fashion?  Or perhaps you have seen an application that does that and I can go take a look at the source?

Thanks gang.

Cheers,
           Will.

Currently there's no such (official) thing, and unofficially it's only on wxMac version of the library. Generraly it would be hard.
