Hello,
I am using dev-c++ on a windows computer. I download a gui package off of the bloodshed dev site. I installed and everything seem to work. I was making a simple gui off of this tutorial I found online that used the library. The library is wxWindows. Here is the code of the header file and of the main file.
The header file (base.h)
the main program (base.cpp)
I am using dev-c++ on a windows computer. I download a gui package off of the bloodshed dev site. I installed and everything seem to work. I was making a simple gui off of this tutorial I found online that used the library. The library is wxWindows. Here is the code of the header file and of the main file.
The header file (base.h)
#ifndef __BASE_H
#define __BASE_H
class MainApp: public wxApp
{
public:
virtual bool OnInit();
};
class MainFrame: public wxFrame
{
public:
MainFrame(const wxString &title, const wxPoint &pos, const wxSize &size);
};
#endif the main program (base.cpp)
#include <wx/wxprec.h>
#ifndef WX_PRECOMP
#include <wx/wx.h>
#endif
#include <base.h>
IMPLEMENT_APP(MainApp)
bool MainApp::OnInit()
{
MainFrame *MainWin = new MainFrame("Hello, World!", wxDefaultPosition,
wxSize(300, 200));
MainWin->Show(TRUE);
SetTopWindow(MainWin);
return TRUE;
}
MainFrame::MainFrame(const wxString &title, const wxPoint &pos, const wxSize &size)
:wxFrame((wxFrame *) NULL, -1, title, pos, size)
{
//this is not needed right now. From what i know this does the controls of the program, and it was not needed for a simple window.
}

Re: Having trouble with library in dev-c++ (wxWindows) What is your question?
Are you using the wxWidgets IDE for Dev-Cpp?
If not, check:
http://wxdsgn.sourceforge.net/
This IDE turns Dev-Cpp into the closest free thing to Visual C++.

No, I download and installed wxWindows. It was a package for dev-c++, and it is a GUI library. When I tried to compile the program a lot of errors came up. I was asking if anyone who used or is using wxWindow can help me make sure the compiler can compile the program. I am not using wxWidget, btw what is that?

I installed it, but I don't know what to do from here. It has sample program that shows all of the things it can do, and you can modify and change stuff.

That reminds me of the days when I installed Delphi 1.0 on my computer. It was a heck of a learning curve. This idea of RAD programming was later copied by VB and VC. If you have any experience with these, then you know what to do with the wxWidget IDE.
BTW, they do have a forum to ask questions:

I went to the forum, and they said I was missing DECLARE_APP. I have no idea where this would go. The person who responded said it might go after the mainapp class in the header file, I tried it and it did not work. Does anyone have any idea?

Well, I found a solution to my problem. When you install the package in dev C++, you have to go to new project, then you go to the gui tab and open up the wxWindows template. Another thing that can be done is to download the wx-Dev C++ which has everything set up already and has a visual building program built in, that you can creat and then you can add code to the buttons and everything else in the program.

Yeah, after I figured download the wxWindows with dev-c++, I was looking at my original code and found some mistakes. I hate the mistakes that are not always obvisous. wxWindows is pretty good from what i have done so far (altough it was tricky to install and make it work). BTW, I have heard about c# but I dont exactly know what it is about, can you possibly tell me about it.
