bugs in wxCrafter samples
Posted: Sun Sep 29, 2013 9:13 am
Eran,
It was easy to follow the first sample but the second has errors in its description. Certain steps are omitted, which is a nightmare for a novice. In short the wxDataViewCtrl sample is no good. There is even a screen that says "leave this field empty its bugged" -- what on earth does that mean? Is it bugged or has bugs? The meanings are VERY different. Either way it is NOT good, nor ready for public consumption.
I have used Codelite for a number of years now, but I'm surprised at the difficulty I'm finding with using WxCrafter.
My first impression is that it isn't much of a conceptual abstraction from wxWidget code. For example it isn't at all clear what a wxDataViewCtrl can do and why I would even try the example. I have the Julian Smart book but it is of little use since wxDataViewCtrl isn't mentioned at all.
Codelite has five project types that involve wxWidgets, however, it is unclear which of the five might server a particular purpose. There are two for wxCrafter alone -- again, how is one to know what to choose for a particular application?
More samples please, but most importantly, ones that have been hand checked.
p.s. In my own circumstances a simple example that showed the use of wxConfigBase would be most helpful...
