A bit of a newbie question I'm afraid - but a forum search didn't really tell be what I needed.
I've been running 10.5 + wxSmith + 2.8.10 under XP+SP3+UDs for a while, and love it!
I have recently upgraded wxWidgets to 2.8.12 without a problem (so far!)
However, I really need to go to wxWidgets 2.9.x (preferably 2.9.2).
Will C::B 10.5 work with wxWidgets 2.9 without a recompile or do I need to wait for the next version of 10.5 ??
I'd try the nightly build but I find the idea of building it a bit daunting :-(
TIA and best regards,
Dave

Why do you want to upgrade the wx lib C::B is using?
But you can use wx2.9.2 in you project without much problem,
I guess there will be some problems with wxSmith.

There are some new member functions in 2.9.x that would make life easier for me.
I guessed that wxSmith may be a problem ... shame.
Thanks for the prompt reply,

I have used wxSmith for projects compiled with wxWidgets 2.9.1. It works without any problems.
The only times you may encounter problems are:
1 - there is a change in API between wxWidgets 2.8.12 and 2.9.1 (example: wxGLCanvas constructor)
These changes are limited, and it will not impact you too much.
If you happen to encounter one, you can use a custom control
2 - you want to use a control which is not existing in 2.8.12 (example: wxBitmapToggleButton)
The solution is to use a custom control as well
