WXDevC++ - Using Controls?

[danny2000]

I'm having a little bit of trouble getting a start on WXWidgets. Sure, I can add the controls to the Frame though I'm a little stuck on how they should work. I know how to use the standard events already built into WXWidgets but there's something else I need to know.

If I am routing the event to a custom function of my own, I'm unsure how to use the control. When I say use, I mean for example: How to add text to a text control or a combobox when I L'click on the frame for example. This is how I see it things right now......... The conrol I add to the frame is represented by a control class. Each control class has a set of pre-defined functions which take parameters such as for resizing the control or changing a header. Is it true that these functions are the only way I can manipulate, add text to or resize these controls OR, can I write my own function completely. I'm really hazy on this,, if anyone can clarrify this in english that would be great. This is a general question, in the above I've only given examples to explain what I mean.

Thanks so much.
