Don't see the wxFileDialog on the toolbar when dropping it
« on: June 25, 2010, 12:52:49 pm »
Hi all,

I'am new here on this user forum. I've created a wxWidgets project with Code::Blocks.
The application has a menubar and toolbar.
When selecting and dropping the wxFileDialog, the icon is dropped above the canvas.
Building the application goes without errors, but when running it the wxFileDialog doesn't appear
in the window!
Is there anything I have forgotten to do???
Any help or hints from you members  I will appreciate very much!

Thanks,
Surrender

wxSmith just creates an instance of the dialog with the paramters you set in the properties sheet.
You have to open and use the return-values on your own.

You can download the wxwidgets-book for free to see what you can do. It's some years old, but is still useful to learn what you can do with wxWidgets.
