Hi guys, thanks for all the discussion. I too have bought the book but sor far only used it as a reference for parameters and descriptions, but not really to interpret (with a small I), the C++ code. I'd vaguely twigged the wx.Frame vs wx::Frame connection, but not to use in earnest. I'd also tried to download the API documentation you refered to, but without success (the compiled HTML windows help did not work and I didn't know what TeX was) so, freshly inspired, I thought I'd try again, this time I downloaded the uncompiled HTML into my intpub directory and browsed it from LOCALHOST and IIS. SHOWTIME! as it says on my rather colloquial router.
I've been using wxGlade to help me with the syntax for functions. And I probably agree it's easier to code myself - when you know the syntax! But actually, I've knocked up several screens very quickly now, and it's a great prototyping tool to agree screen layouts with users.
Thanks for your input. | [reply] |
