It has wxWidgets, wxPlotCtrl, and wThings pre-built for you. Go check out the website for more details. -- Regards, Ryan RJP Computing

It should work, though you may have to override a few things since it's really designed for static plots that you view, but the drawing functions are virtual. > > I checked out the CVS of wxCode and noticed I need wxThings for > > compiling and using wxPlotCtrl.

(You probably don't need obdc and dbgrid, but do everything else) Ok. So I just got the CVS HEAD of the 2.8 branch of wxWidgets. Compiled using batch build "Win32 Debug" and "Win32 Release". No problems... I've now got wxWidgets/lib/vc_lib/wxmsw28d_core.lib (Debug) wxWidgets/lib/vc_lib/wxmsw28_core.lib (Release) and of course all the other libs. Note that you don't have to do both debug and release, but I would STRONGLY recommend doing all your development using the debug build. I have the "Environment variables" (right click My Computer->Properties->Advanced tab ->Environment Variables button) WXWIN=c:\wxCVS\wxWidgets\wxWidgets_28\wxWidgets WXCODE=c:\wxCVS\wxCode\wxCode I get the CVS version of wxCode (as you did, the current wxThings and wxPlotCtrl tar.gz releases should work w/ wxWidgets 2.6.x). Open up the wxCode/components/wxthings/build/wxthings.dsw, Batch Build "things - Win32 Static ANSI Debug Multilib" and "thingsdemo - Win32 Static ANSI Debug Multilib" Both build ok... run sample, ok. Have wxCode/components/wxthings/lib/vc_lib/wxcode_msw28d_things.lib Open up the wxCode/components/wxplotctrl/build/wxplotctrl.dsw, Batch Build "plotctrl - Win32 Static ANSI Debug Multilib" and "plotctrl_sample - Win32 Static ANSI Debug Multilib" Both build ok, run sample... Have wxCode/components/wxplotctrl/lib/vc_lib/wxcode_msw28d_plotctrl.lib > > which is not found at compilation so I replace it with things.lib.

See thingdef.h and plotdefs.h and note that they are #defined to nothing if you're not building for a DLL. You should not have to edit the source/header files of wxThings or wxPlotCtrl to get it to compile nor to use the classes in them. Hopefully you can intercept events and/or override virtual functions to do what you want. > > Oh and I also changed wxmsw28d.lib (which I don't have anywhere) to > > wxmsw28d_core.lib (which is in the $(WXWIN)/lib/vc_lib/ directory) Humm... you haven't built wxWidgets right. Again, you shouldn't have to do any editing or moving files to get it to build, but you do have to build all of the libs for each setting you want. (you can build multiple types of libs at once, release, debug, unicode...) > > I also compiled wxPlotCtrl which dsw file is set already to static lib > > (why by the way having things configured in dll and plotctrl in lib?). > > So I don't problems having the plotctrl.lib file but the sample > > doesn't work either... Again, you cannot mix lib/dll/release/debug/unicode/ansi - pick one setting and build everything for it. I recommend debug with either unicode or ansi static lib. > You can try wxPack (http://wxpack.sourceforge.net). It has wxWidgets, > wxPlotCtrl, and wThings pre-built for you.

(keys 'a' and 'x') Note that all of this can be overridden by subclassing the wxplotctrl and installing your own event handlers for the keyboard and mouse or better yet overriding the key/mouse event handler functions "virtual ProcessXXX(wxXXXEvent)" ============== Move origin: Scrollbars, left-mouse drag on axis labels, arrow keys, shift+ctrl+alt and left mouse drag. Zoom plot: Select area with mouse or [qwe|asd|zxc] keys, where 's' fits plot. Select curve: shift key cycles through them. Delete curve: delete key. Select points: shift + left mouse drag to select area. Unselect points: ctrl + left mouse drag to select area. Move cursor: Select point w/ left mouse button, move forward and backwards using ',<' or '.>' keys. For the complete list of mouse and key functions, please see the functions wxPlotCtrl::ProcessAreaEVT_MOUSE_EVENTS and wxPlotCtrl::ProcessAreaEVT_CHAR ================= Hope this helps, John Labenski --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: wx-users-unsubscribe(a)lists.wxwidgets.org For additional commands, e-mail: wx-users-help(a)lists.wxwidgets.org

I'm pretty upset I didn't find that before... It seems perfect for what I need: a simple way to code wx app in VC++, with the widgets I need !
