It is a place where I'll put snippets of codes related to wxWidgets.

Each of them is placed in its own subfolder, and should also contain all the needed for a buildable test application.

They are available for C++, and for Python (Python 3 required). Please note that not all snippets are actually tranlated in Python (this is a work in progress)

Each subfolder contains also a README file with a description of the snippet.

Available for both 32 and 64 bits on this site

Building the snippets can be done using the provided Makefile.

It should work under Windows (MinGW only), Linux and Mac OS-X.

Under Windows, you must have a copy of the wx-config executable in your path. By default, il will search for the wxWidgets libs in C:\wx32, and in the gcc_dll\mswu lib subfolder.

You can override this using the command line. For example : mingw32-make WXWIN=C:\wx31 WXCFG=gcc_lib\mswu

You can also set these variables as environment ones so you won't have to specify them each time : in this case you'll just have to call mingw32-make.

To build all the snippets, just run the Makefile "as-is".

To build one of the snippets, use the name of the snippets sub-folder as build target. For example : make TestApp (or under Windows mingw32-make WXWIN=C:\wx31 WXCFG=gcc_lib\mswu TestApp)

Each build result (executable file or app bundle under OS-X) will be placed in a bin subfolder into the snippet's one.

For the C++ version, you'll have to first build it (see previous section). As it is said just above, the corresponding executable is placed in a bin subfolder of the snippet's one.

For the Python version, you'll find it in a Python subfolder of the snippet's one. Just run the Main.py file to see it in action.
