Patches to compile and link C::B against wxWidgets 2.8.0

[sethjackson]

The quickest way to see it is to download wxPython 2.8 and its demos.  There is a new wxAUI class called wxAUINotebook (wxWidgets needs to learn namespaces).  Basically every frame becomes a notebook and you can move them between panes, or "tear" one out and create its own pane.  The only thing they don't do currently is become floating windows.  That for later releases.

Yeah I use wxAuiNotebook, but I'm not sure how to make the tabs undock.... Or can they?

[Game_Ender]

Just click and drag and you be able to place it some where else.  There is no way to make them float.

[David Perfors]

Tearable tabs? How?

You can drag tabs from one window to another, as long as you tell wxAUI where it could be placed...

[sethjackson]

Oh ok. Yeah mine do that. I thought you meant you could make the tabs float....

On the other hand, for floating tabs: http://www.eistware.com/aui_dock/wxFlatNotebookTest.zip

• Edit->Enable Drag And Drop of Tabs
• Edit->Enable Drag And Drop of Tabs to foreign notebooks[/tt]
  
  so guess that'll made its way to wxAuiNotebook.

I am trying to compile C::B on Fedora Development with wxGTK 2.8.0 (all patches from the first post in this thread are applied) and I am getting an error when compiling PropertyGrid. Any idea?

You might try the newest wxPropertyGrid  version 1.2.5
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=133406

I looked up the line that errored out on you and it is the same code in version 1.2.5, so it is NOT likely to fix the problem.

I will try to see what the issue is with the patch to PropertyGrid under Linux.
I use andLinux Ubuntu; are you building it using code::blocks or the auto tools?

If you do use wxPropertyGrid 1.2.5; I have a patch for the new wxSmith that fixes compile and link errors under windows.

I am using autotools. The version 1.2.5 looks better as there are not any other warnings only the casting errors and I suspect the problem to be some incompatibility with GCC 4.1.1

[SharkCZ]

Now I have tried to include the development snapshot of wxPropertyGrid and it compiles OK. Their changelog contains some "compatibilty fixes for WX 2.8.0" :-)

Thanks for the feedback, I have NOT yet had time to test under andLinux. Will look at their patches.

I have disabled building of wxSmith plugin and now I am able to successfully compile C::B svn3406 (nightly build from 20/12/2006) on Fedora Development with WX 2.8. Now other patches were required.

[killerbot]

I applied most of the patches in svn, some I did local on my machine [the scripting one and the cbp's and for selecttarget I have disabled the event handler mapping to the old OnOK for the moment ] => I can build except wxSmith. Any news on that one ?
