Bruce <3's wxWidgets

[Das Bruce]

Oh man this shit is so good.

Code: Select all

imPreview->LoadFile(wxT("heightmap.bmp"), wxBITMAP_TYPE_BMP, -1);

That's all it takes to load a bitmap. Ridiculous!

So fuck you win32api.
And fuck you MFC.

[AF]

QT ftw

[Das Bruce]

Why?

[Beherith]

Superb, for mapconvgui?
Just please dont forget the trickyness that is .raw heightmaps. A lot of use use them now, they are 16bit,1 channel intel byte order raws with no header. Thus you have to read tex dimensions to get heightmap dimensions applicable to the raw file. Or just ignore preview of raws, anyone who uses raw probably doesnt need the quick preview of it :)

Beings spoiled by C#, how bad is it with Win32api and MFC?

[Licho]

Same with correct libs.
In C# its like Image.LoadFromFile("path");

[Tribulex]

in brainfuck its a serious of impossible to read morse code.

Well, for a frontend atm, functionally it works although I may need to add some more tickboxes, I can never remember which files are necessary and which are not. It was actually first just going to use the texture, heightmap was used for testing how it works because I wasn't really paying attention and I'm having a bit of trouble with that, documentation is good but not great.

java Swing is better

[Das Bruce]

Do any mappers use win9X?

[Beherith]

unlikely, its safe to assume win2k/xp as a minimum. Dont think spring even runs on win9x.

[Das Bruce]

That's reassuring, I wasn't particularly worried, it's just I'd have to write my own class to deal with bitmaps over 64x64 otherwise, and fuck that.

Seeing the screenshot in the other thread I'd suggest adding a proper resource file so it'll use the right windows style

Code: Select all

#include <wx/msw/wx.rc>
NAME_OF_YOUR_APP ICON "pathto/some.ico"

I could also provide a simple cmake based buildsystem if you want, or any other wx related help for that matter if you need it.

Ok, I'll try doing that.

I'm not really sure what you mean, F9 seems to work adequately at the moment, is that for building on other os's?

Thanks, I'm trying to learn as much as I can myself, it's good practice for reading documentation which I've always been crap at, but I'll likely call on you at some point.

and other IDEs, yes. CMake can generate a number of Ide project files (VS, codeblocks, eclipse,...) as well as plain unix/mingw makefiles.
Could be used as a replacement or alongside whatever you're using now. Either way it's prolly something for later.

[Das Bruce]

Aye, much.

[Das Bruce]

Koshi, I can currently set a tooltip for each item in a wxRadioBox but there doesn't appear to be a way to set it for the entire radiobox. This would be preferable since you could easily click an item and move on before the tip pops up.

[koshi]

yeah this is not possible without much trickery since only wxWindow derived class get automatic tooltips iirc
