Problem creating a wxWidgets project

[rickg22]

To make the dll option work you need the wxwidgets "compiled for dll linking". You'd need to follow the instructions at the wiki.

Hi

Also, there seems no easy way to rename the default program and include file names.  So I found it quite annoying especially when I create a wxwidget project using the option "Use separate wxApp, wxFrame files" which create 4 files whose name I have to change.  Is there any plan to add a rename feature in the coming  release ?

Also, when a main.cpp or main.h exist, C::B will allows me to create source files with new names.  But the extension will then become .cxx & .hxx.  This seems not quite consistent.  What do you think ?

I originated this thread and had resigned to waiting for the next release, but I am glad that someone put the template up.  Thanks! thanks! thanks!

I see.  In fact I have downloaded wxwidgets 2.6.  But I haven't compile it (to a lib*.a nor *.dll) for use.   I am still using the wxwidgets 2.4 devpak for DevCpp which provides only the libwxmsw.a for "Static".  But since there is already a wxmsw242.dll in C:\Program Files\Codeblocks after C::B installation, so I thought I can make use of it to write programs that use the DLL.

You would need the accompanying .a library to use it...

This liborder has worked for me so far, so i think that it is ok.
