Development / Re: flicker when I rezize the Build log control(TextCtrlLogger) issue

« Last post by ollydbg on March 25, 2026, 03:07:10 pm »

Which version of wxWidgets are you using?

I'm using the latest wx 3.3.2 release.

Double buffering behaviour has been modified around wx3.3.2, see for example Revert "Enable double buffering for all generic windows in wxMSW"

So, the double buffering is disabled by default in 3.3.2 for the wxTextCtrl class?

Hi, thanks, I see it still uses wx 3.2.8.

Maybe, you could try a more recent wxWidgets version, see here: wxWidgets 3.2.10 and 3.3.2 Released - wxWidgets

BTW: I use the github action to build a wx 3.3.2 based version(since Tim has made contribution to the msys2's wx package, thanks).
See:
asmwarrior/x86-codeblocks-builds: Automatically built codeblocks for both 32b and 64b Windows systems.

and my forked C::B source of a git mirror:

Development / flicker when I rezize the Build log control(TextCtrlLogger) issue

« Last post by ollydbg on March 25, 2026, 01:20:21 pm »

Today, I noticed that when I resize the "Build log" panel, I see this window get flickered a lot. When I drag the panel edge between our cbEditor window and the Build log, I don't see the cbEditor get flickered.

So, I prepared a patch, and it looks like with this patch, the "Build log"'s flicker get reduced, can you try this patch? Or maybe there are many other method to handle this.

We switched to gcc 15.1.0 (on 23 May 2025) --> download the new wx/mingw dll's see link below

Get the compiler we use here : https://github.com/brechtsanders/winlibs_mingw/releases/download/15.1.0posix-12.0.0-ucrt-r1/winlibs-x86_64-posix-seh-gcc-15.1.0-mingw-w64ucrt-12.0.0-r1.7z

Get quick announcements through the RSS feed http://www.codeblocks.org/nightly/CodeBlock_RSS.xml

Before you use a nightly make sure you understand how it works.

General (but related to Code::Blocks) / Re: File Association?

« Last post by ampleintend on March 24, 2026, 09:34:43 am »

The issue is that Windows is not passing the file path to Code::Blocks when you double-click.
Here is a quick fix I suggest:

• Go to Windows → Settings → Default apps → Choose default apps by file type.
  Select the .c extension and set Code::Blocks as the default app; ensure that the command includes " %1" to open the file.
  Alternatively, you can drag and drop the file into the IDE, or use "Open with" → Code::Blocks.

Once done, double-clicking the file should open it in a new tab.
