I'm really impressed with this program. I hope it takes off in a big way. After
spending days looking for something that has all these features, I was really
surprised to find VisualWX.
I particularly like:
* It isn't buggy - though it did segfault on me once when I entered a negative
value for a field that needed a non-negative value
* It has scintilla
* You can subclass controls easily *and use them in the GUI*
* It writes python code
* It uses wx
* It has a GUI designer with integrated IDE. It's a complete RAD tool!
I'm loving it. The website and documentation could do with some work. With a few
more bells and whistles on the website and in the documentation, the project
should attract quite a following, and more contributors, I believe.
One thing which would really increase usership would be some tutorials, perhaps
some video tutorials would be easiest.
Thanks for the hard work!
Bill.

Is anyone in this group using visualWx at this point?
Is anyone who is or was developing visualWx in the group still?
I'm just curious if there is any reason not to unsubscribe from this group?
visualWx is so close to being a really nice program ... but the bugs and
flakiness are frustrating ... and time marches on ... new releases of wxLua,

Anyone?
Hi!, i'm new here and i want to say that VisualWx it's a great tool!,
so, i would like to know when do you plan to release the a new
version? would be this year?.
Best Regards,

Well I installed the following
wxwidgets 2.8.7
msys 1.0.10
and the newest version for mingw.
But when I want to built wxwidget in visualwx i get the following error

On of the underlying features and benefits of wxWidgets is that it is
cross-platform. Can you please consider making the VisualWx
application itself cross-platform? I use Linux primarily for
development, though I compile and run my apps on both Linux and
Windows. Having said that, I know that it is important to design for
cross-platform and 64bit support early on in a project.
Thanks

Hi everybody, i'm using VisualWx and i'm trying to make a grid like an
Excel. So, my cuestion is that if there is a tutorial or something,
because i don't know which controls i have to use.
I'm programing with ruby, but i only care how to make the GUI.
Thanks a lot!!!
Drunk driving and DWI are common words in our every day speech, which
should tell us something about the extent and familiarity of this
growing problem. Certainly, hiring a good DUI lawyer is absolutely
your best decision and ought to be your first move.
If you're charged with a Driving While Intoxicated offense, it's
possible to have your charges dismissed with the assistance of a
skilled DWI legal counselor.

1) Add "custom control" from project panel menu (Add file | frame |

2) modify & save your cotrol (not to close the window custom control)
3) To select file (your custom control) in project panel

Hello.
First of all, sorry if this has already been discussed - I'm new here,
and I couldn't find anything by searching...
Since there's virtually no documentation, especially regarding custom
components, I thought I'd post my question here, in the hope that
someone out there can help me.
I'm writing a Python program using visualWx to design the interface (I
simply like Active State's Komodo better for its code intelligence).
Visual Wx is by far the best IDE for interface design of those I've tried.
What I want to do is use the GenBitmapButton from wx.lib.buttons in
stead of the not-so-great wx.BitmapButton. I'm trying to add it as a
Custom Component. It works... almost. The only thing I can't figure
out is how to make the "Bitmap" functionality work - it's rather
tedious to write the code by hand, and the regular Bitmap related
components seem to work just fine.
To clarify: I want a Custom Component named "GenBitmapButton" which,
when placed, works out-of-the-box exactly like a regular
wxBitmapButton - the ability to, for instance, set the "bitmap" stuff
by interface rather than by code...
I hope I'm making this clear enough. English isn't my first language,
so please ask me if I'm being incomprehensible...

Krank

I have a small correction to my previous post.
I was mistaken about the taskbar icon properties. wxTaskBarIcon is
supposed to create system tray icons. I think the icon property of the
Frame will do the trick for the actual taskbar/main frame's icon.
I've got a fair number of bugs here, but let me preface my remarks by
saying I think VisualWx might already be the finest wxWidgets program
editor out there. Some others don't build nearly complete programs
including events, such as wxFormBuilder. One or two others can't edit
the contents of notebook panels, not to mention the contents of spiffy
classes like list books. Of the ones I tried, it is the ONLY one I
could just create a frame and start dragging components to where I
thought they should be, like in Visual Studio. VisualWx does NOT
require everything to be in a layout before you can even add a widget,
making layouts what they were intended to be, a handy advancement over
the usual way of doing forms. While I've found a few bugs in it, I've
found nothing that really prevents me from using it. Although I am
quite new to wxWidgets, I don't know of a more intuitive GUI for RAD for
wxWidgets. I may well be missing a better one, but if so, I do not know
what it is. Installation was a breeze under XP - only getting g++ to
run under windows was bey0nd me (so I just used MSVC++ 8, and
encountered very few problems, once the proper lib and header
directories are set). A rich selection of wxWidgets properties are
already supported. I already like it a lot, although it is not yet
vers. 1.0. These remarks pertain to version 0.86.7.0, but should in no
way be interpreted as saying its not already an excellet app, as is.
Bug report for VisualWx
- Sometimes upon creating functions, it does not delete them. As I was
new to VisualWx, and I told it not to delete the function two times,
but it happened with four unrelated functions, it is difficult to
say where these orphaned functions came from. Two were "All" type
event handlers, and I think some might not have been deleted
properly.
Also, it might be nice to have a button to purge orphaned functions
from
the code. These were giving me compile errors in MSVC++ 8 native
mode.
- Build fails, but doesn't tell me why. I installed gc++ and MSYS. It
is also unclear as to whether it needs the bin or the main
directories
for these, although I tried both. I think it is MSYS that it can't
seem
to find. (Does it need the source module too?)
- If I try to put a toolbar in a layout, it leaves room for the toolbar
above
the first layout, in which nothing shows, and still shows the toolbar
in the
layout. I don't know if it is allowable to put a toolbar in a
layout, but if
it is, then the display is handled wrong. If it is not, then this
should be
disallowed in VisualWx as well.
- When I resize a widget in the layout by dragging it, e.g. a
horizontal box
layout doesn't reposition it immediately, although in the final
frame,
it is. In order to see the result, I must save, close and reopen the
frame. It'd be nice to have an always update option, or a redraw
frame
option. I know that you have a ReLayout choice in Environment
Options, but
it forcibly saves the frame, which is not necessarily what one wants.
- When I set the status bar text, it is not enclosed in wxT() or _(),
and
this breaks it when compiling with the Unicode option on.
Feature suggestions:
- Component config file? log file? (Not terribly important, but still
helpful.)
- Taskbar Icon properties, so that it doesn't go in the icon tray all
the time.
- Would prefer redraw of frames while dragging.
- Contributed LED widget will not compile under wxWidgets 2.8.3, and
should
be dropped until it can be.
- Double-click to paste script into code? standard C++ scripts?
- Tool tip info for "A" checkbox (all type functions in events)
- Install with wxWidgets manual (optional?), or just allow a URL to
point to the latest on the wxWidgets site.
- I encourage you to show the menu names and items, and icons in toobar
buttons
during development. (Not terribly important, but still helpful.)
- Minimum size parameters for the main form?
- Something sick is going on with the status bar in the wx code. They
have
a bad fix for when you set the status bar, and have help items on
menus.
The status bar reverts to its initial value after the menus are
destroyed,
but if you e.g. change the status bar text in a button event handler,
it
keeps reverting to the first thing you left the text as after
initialization.
In order to disable it, you need to do a "SetStatusBarPane(-1);" in
able to
disable the menu help. It'd be nice to have an option to disable the
menu help for status bars, and it'd insert this line. I add it in
"MyFrame::initAfter();".
- MSVC++ support!!! Lack of support for it will be an obstacle to
acceptence
to VisualWx. You don't need to build sln files, but at least be able
to use
gnu-make to call it command line style.
- A local chm help manual for VisualWx. One must hack one's way
through to use
it currently. (I know you already know this. I'll quit stating the
obvious now.)
We could especially use a complete walkthrough as to how to add
custom widgets.
- Support for the pie chart widget seems a natural inclusion (although
I think we
ultimately need a wxWidget for gnnPlot or Ploticus, while the latter
still
needs a non-file oriented C++ API). Calc would also be a nice one to
support.
- As you support definition of additional widgets, some ppl probably
have used it.
How can they share their successes with us? How about a way to
export and
import setups for extra widgets?
- How about selecting the frame when the title bar is clicked?
Clicking a tool
only selects the toolbar, not the tool.

- Download and install Mingw
- Download and install MSYS
- Download and install wxWidgets
- Open VisualWx and from menu "Options\directory" set directories
MSYS,Mirc and wxWidgets
- select menu "tools\build wxWidget"
--- Select build option ( default value is "release-shared" and
"debug-shared")
--- Press build button
I downloaded and installed VisaulWx. I already had MinGw which it
apparently found as it showed in the directories. (Oh, I had to copy
the python25.dll over to the VisualWx folder to get it started.) I
also had wxWidgets on my computer but only as components of wxPython
and wxDev-C++, so I downloaded and installed wxWidgets and put that
address in the wxWidgets Directory.
I'm the first to admit than I'm not good at this kind of stuff, unless
its really obvious what I'm supposed to do, I don't know what to do.
Anyway, I fired it up, created a project, added a wxFrame in the
designer, and clicked build. I expected it to build the thing, then I
would find the 'run' button, click that and up would pop an empty
frame... Nope. When I clicked Build I got a message box "Execution
failed."
When I downloaded wxDev and installed it, it installed MinGw and had
its own copy of wxWidgets so when I did the same as above, up popped
an empty frame. In other words, I didn't have to 'configure' anything,
it came ready to go out of the box. But VisualWx looks like a better
deal and I would really like to try it but I've hit a brick wall and
haven't a clue what to do next.
