Hi Julian/Bob,

Thanks for your input.

Just so I understand, do you know if it is the file association for .html that
is causing the problem?

Any reference to what key in the registry I should change to possibly reproduce
this? the main .html (and .htm?) entry in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT or something else?
Do I need to restart PC or something else after this change?

Cheers, Marcel.

Hi Marcel,

The relevant registry entry is:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.html

and possibly .htm as well. I just tried renaming them and unfortunately
it didn't make any difference to displaying in a wxHTML help window,
which is annoying as it'll make it harder to track the problem down.
Possibly they are present, but have wrong MIME types. You could try
asking your user to export data from their registry so you can check
what the values are.

Regards,

Julian

Hi Julian,

Well not yet the complete makefile wanted, but relevant I think is the
info posted at:

http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=67&t=9324

Does this help?

Hi Alec,

I'd be doing any tweaks blind, so I don't think there's any point until
someone can tell me exactly what I need to put in the makefile. I.e.
it's much better to debug the makefile with an ARM system available,
then think about how DB should generate it. But I'm not going to be
fiddling ARM builds myself, I'm afraid.

Regards,

Julian

Hi Julian,

Ok, thanks again.

I got the htm and html registry export files. I made an export of mine and
changed them around and indeed now I can re-create the issue. Switching back to
my own registry entry works fine again.

Now I'm still kinda stuck.

non working html registry in a text editor looks like:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.html]
@="ChromeHTML"
"Notepad++_backup"="ChromeHTML"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.html\OpenWithProgIDs]
"soffice.StarCalcDocument.6"=""
"soffice.StarWriterDocument.6"=""

similar for the htm file but that has a lot more entries (the rest of the htm
file looks fairly similar to mine).

There is a reference to Chrome in this as far as I can see, and he did have
Chrome as default browser. However if I use my registry file and install Chrome
as default things still work fine.

I also have no clue how to start debugging the wx code if the problem is there;
not sure.

Cheers, Marcel.

Hi Marcel,

It would be interesting to see the difference between the two .html and
.htm keys. But probably the best bet is to debug. Put a break in
wxHtmlWindow::LoadPage in src/html/htmlwin.cpp, and step through - I'm
sure it'll become clear!

Regards,

Julian

Subject line says it all

Using DB 4.43 Unicode, build Mar 14/2012

Can't seem to generate code to use the member variable  name.

It is accepted in the GUI, but it is not used in the code; neither the header
nor .cpp file show any sign of it.
I have tried to 'Save' the code repeatedly, including exiting and restarting DB.

This is a 2.9 style, which you can add in custom styles; I'll add it for
2.9 compiles of DB.

It works for me when testing with the Elements sample. Perhaps you can
check you typed the member variable into the correct property.

Hi Julian,

Thanks!

Yes it did become a bit clearer!
When I add the following in the htm/html registry (i.e. the version that did NOT
show help correct):
Content Type = text/html

everything works fine.

I traced it to this part in the LoadPage routine:

             node = m_Filters.GetFirst();
             while (node)
             {
                 wxHtmlFilter *h = (wxHtmlFilter*) node->GetData();
                 if (h->CanRead(*f))
                 {
                     src = h->ReadFile(*f);
                     break;
                 }
                 node = node->GetNext();
             }

where in the not working case h->CanRead(*f) never returns true. CanRead in this
case only returns true in case MimeType == text/html. According to the following
routine in htmlfilt.cpp:

bool wxHtmlFilterHTML::CanRead(const wxFSFile& file) const
{
//    return (file.GetMimeType() == "text/html");
// This is true in most case but some page can return:
// "text/html; char-encoding=...."
// So we use Find instead
   return (file.GetMimeType().Find(wxT("text/html")) == 0);
}

So now I'm still stuck, :(
What should I do, get the user to add the Content Type in the registry or write
a bug report for the above? However removing the check might not be the correct
solution?

Cheers, Marcel.

Hi Arnold,

Note that you need a single box sizer as the root sizer for a dialog or
panel; having two at the top level won't work.

I'm afraid that sometimes moving sizers from or to the top-level does
confuse DB w.r.t. the sizer's properties (which are different for the
top-level sizer).

Regards,

Julian

Hi Marcel,

Thanks for the description; I think we also need to look at:

wxFSFile* wxFileSystem::OpenFile(const wxString& location, int flags)

in src/common/filesys.cpp since this is where the wxFSFile object with
the bad MIME type was returned. Actually the point of failure is
probably in wxFileSystemHandler::GetMimeTypeFromExt, when
wxTheMimeTypesManager->GetFileTypeFromExtension. There are fallbacks in
this function that map extension to MIME type in case none is found in
the registry, but it doesn't take into account the wrong information
being in the registry. However modifying this would affect other code
and you can't necessarily tell whether the information is wrong.

In wxHtmlWindow::LoadPage, why is m_DefaultFilter not working as a
fallback? Perhaps 'src' is not empty at this point?

In the short term, you could save a portion of the register as a .reg
file and ask your customer to run it in order to fix the registry.

Regards,

Julian

Hi Julian,

Yes, I did another trace and I can see you are right the GetMimeTypeFromExt
seems to skip the extension selection and as such returns an empty string. I
think this is way over my head......

I also checked the fallback to m_DefaultFilter in LoadPage, and that actually
works however as far as I can see it actually returns the content as 'source'
text and as such is shown with all html markup words.

I'm happy with providing the htm and html .reg files but can I be sure that an
export of my values will not cause other issue on the PC where they get
imported? I guess it can't make it any worse? :)

Cheers, Marcel.

Hi Marcel,

It would be nice to have a definitive answer to why it's happening...
perhaps it's time to try wx-users or wx-dev to see if anyone has
suggestions?

Certainly fiddling with the registry could have unexpected consequences,
so it would be good to have some way to force wxHTML to behave - perhaps
using some wxSystemOptions value to force it to interpret htm and html
as HTML.

Regards,

Julian

Sure would be nice to make that distinction more apparent and visible to the

Hi Julian,

Sorry, I know about the wx forum and the trac site but what is wx-users or
wx-dev?

These are the two main mailing lists. Most devs don't look at the forum.

Hi Julian,

I'd like to request that the settings options be expanded to include
wxWidgets versions 2.n, for n >= 5.

Also, these are not requests, but queries: what about settings for the
currently experimental GTK+3, and the use of GTK with Windows which I
seem to have noticed in development?

TIA

Good point, will do (though you can of course type the version number in
the meantime).

I'll look into adding it to the UI but meanwhile you can edit the
configure line in the relevant configuration property to read --with-gtk=3.

I don't know about that, but in theory you could create a GCC
configuration and set the toolkit to wxMSW. I can't quite see the point
but it should be possible - please let me know if you find erroneous
assumptions that DB has made.

Julian

Ok.  (Never had to try.  ;-))

As regards these last two, I wasn't asking for anything that I expect to
want in the foreseeable future; simply raising the issues as things that
might come up.


And thanks as ever, and

but does not add the #include lines to the new project.
Had to add them manually for a clean compile.

Hi Julian,

I'm using DB 4.43 registered and MSVC 2010.

I need to set the linker security setting DEP (Data Execution Prevention) in
my project to NO (Default is yes).

I tried to set some different things in the linker flags item in the
VCProject configurations dialog in DB for both configurations (Debug and
Release) like:

%AUTO% /NXCOMPAT:NO
Or
/NXCOMPAT:NO %AUTO%

And also expanded %AUTO% to it's content and pre- and postfixed that long
line with my /NXCOMPAT:NO option.

But whenever i save the project and look into the project properties (and
the linker commandline) in MSVC i get this flag resetted to the default
value "yes" (or better said to: /NXCOMPAT <- without the :NO).

Whenever i change anything in DB that effect the project file, i have to
remember that i have to go into the project settings in MSVC after saving
and change that option again back to my :NO value that i need. A bit
annoying and begging for trouble (as without this setting my app can't load
a certain 3rd party DLL and so my program won't run at all).

What am i doing wrong here? What must i do to preserve this setting in DB,
so that it will be set automatically when saving the project from DB. Or is
this a bug in DB? If so, can you fix that please? Or is it not possible to
set this flag at all in DB?

Thank you in advance for your good cooperation and an early reply.

Greetings
Joerg

Hi Joerg,

Unfortunately DB can't preserve all possible settings in a VS project
file. So I would recommend you switch off the "Generate makefile"
configuration option and if you need to add files, add them in both DB
and VS. Sorry!

Regards,

Julian

I'm trying to port a C# image viewing program to wxWidgets / DB.  I see that
wxWidgets has support for MDI, but I can't find it in DB (using 4.4.3).  In my
C# program, I can create and display multiple image panes inside my main frame
application, and if desired, tile them so they are both displayed side by side.

If DB doesn't support this, how can I use DB to get as close as possible?  Are
there any examples out there?

Thanks

Hi,

When you create a frame in DB, you can choose the class, which can be an
MDI parent or child frame.

Regards,

Julian
