Hello,
here a little How to set up the new Debugger Interface in Codeblocks to display wxWidgets types like wxString...
1) Download an Python enabled GDB described here: https://code.google.com/p/qp-gcc/wiki/GDB
2) Download the wxWidgets GDB Python-script from here: http://svn.wxwidgets.org/viewvc/wx/wxWidgets/trunk/misc/gdb/print.py?view=markup
I had to add: import datetime
import gdb at the beginning of the file
3) Open C::B -> Settings -> Debugger -> Default
Add to "Debugger intializaton commands":
python
import sys
import gdb
sys.path.insert(0,'path/to/wxWidgets-python-script')
import script_name
end
set print pretty 1
you have to replace "path/to/wxWidgets-python-script" with your path to the wxWidgets script
and script_name with the filename of your script, without .py
The filename can't contain "-" or spaces
4) Remove tick from "Enable watch script"
5) enjoy the big advantage to see what is stored in you wxString Variable
if you have trouble make a tick at C::B -> Settings -> Debugger -> Common -> Full (Debug) log. Now you can see the full output of the gdb in the debugger log window.
sorry for the shortness, but my English is really bad....
greetings

You post is quite nice for the beginners try to use python pretty printer.
If I remember correct, I don't need the above change to the wx's python pretty printer, maybe I use an old revision of the print.py.
I've installed this wx-dedicated Python script some days ago and, in my case, I got this error :
Quote[debug]Error while executing Python code.
[debug]>>>>> File "<string>", line 4
[debug] import print
[debug] ^
[debug]SyntaxError: invalid syntax
To remove-it I've had to add the "import gdb" line as BlueHazzard did, and rename the "print.py" script file to something else (I've choosen "wxprint.py"). Now it works w/o error.
This using python-enabled GDB 7.2.50.20101213, the python script of 2009-01-04, and Python 2.7 under Windows 7 Pro FR.
@eanon, you can see this page: http://forums.next.codeblocks.org/index.php/topic,11301.msg77000.html
I have a detailed wiki page link in that page.
For gdb, you can use either official mingw's gdb(currently gdb 7.5), or other newer ones(include mybuild in the link above)
OK, thanks Olly : bookmarked and I'll read calmly asap...
