wxNotebook troubles

[sethjackson]

Code (cpp) Select Expand


m_pNotebook = new wxNotebook(this,
                                 wxID_ANY,
                                 wxDefaultPosition,
                                 wxDefaultSize);

    // Create a new text control using our member pointer.

m_pTextCtrl = new TextCtrl(m_pNotebook,
                               wxID_ANY,
                           wxEmptyString,
                               wxDefaultPosition,
                               wxDefaultSize,
                               wxTE_MULTILINE | wxHSCROLL);

    m_pNotebook->InsertPage(m_pNotebook->GetPageCount(), m_pTextCtrl);


I get this error.

main.cpp:40: error: no matching function for call to `wxNotebook::InsertPage(size_t, TextCtrl*&)'
C:/wxWidgets-2.6.2/include/wx/msw/notebook.h:136: note: candidates are: virtual bool wxNotebook::InsertPage(size_t, wxNotebookPage*, const wxString&, bool, int)

TextCtrl is my own text control object derived from wxTextCtrl. I wan't to have a tabbed text editor..... How to? Sorry for the dumb question....

You must provide a wxString for the title, this is not an optional argument.

Ok. Does TextCtrl parent need to be the notebook or this (this = my main frame)?

EDIT:

when TextCtrl parent is the notebook I get SIGSEV.....  What am I doing wrong? I want the inserted page to have a wxTextCtrl. How to do this?

[thomas]

I would use this ( = main frame), never sure which is right and which is not, but using the main frame usually works fine with everything

[sethjackson]

So how do I have my notebook have a tab with a text ctrl?

Usually it is better to use the notebook itself as the parent of the page.

In the wxFlatNotebook, for example, the control reparent the page when inserted to it:

Code Select Expand


AddPage(wxWindow* win, ... )
{
if(!win)
   return;

win->Reparent(this);
}

to add text control:


to add a text control just do:

Code Select Expand


wxTextCtrl *text = new wxTextCtrl(m_pNotebook, wxID_ANY, wxT(""), wxDefaultPosition, wxDefaultSize, wxTE_PROCESS_ENTER | wxTE_MULTILINE);
m_pNotebook->AddPage(text, wxT("Page #1"));
