Help with wxLED component

[nishalns]

I want to use wxLED component in my wxWidget projects developed using code::blocks 12.11.

When I added the wxLED component to the window, the compiler flagged an error that "led.h" header file was missing. So, I downloaded the header file and c++ source file from sourceforge and copied the led.h file to "include/wx/led.h" in this wxsmith directory.

Now, when I try to build the program it gives me a  whole lot of errors that the constructors and functions used for the led component are missing. So, I tried copying "led.cpp" (which was also downloaded from sourceforge along with "led.h") to the "src" folder in the wxWidgets directory.

Where should I place this "led.cpp" file and what steps should I take to fix this problem????

Please remove your duplicated posts, thanks.

How to remove a duplicate post???

There is a "Remove" button in the right top side of your post.

first of al it's not C::B related! This is a simple question of not understanding how c (c++) works (especially the compiling step), so i recommend you to read a good c tutorial (book).
Some help can be found here:
http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=FAQ-Compiling_%28errors%29


or simply add the cpp file to your project....

Oh! didn't realize that....

Well, Thank you!!!!!

I wanted to use the wxLED component in one of my projects... so i added it to the project frame in code::blocks ide. But it flagged errors that "wx/led.h" file was missing... How do I fix this?????

Adjust your compiler include folder settings.

@nishalns:

Please stop double and triple-posting the same question.
You have been told to remove the first double-post and it looks as if you have done it.
But for some reason you asked the same question a third time in a new thread.
I just merged the two open threads.

If you do not learn how to behave correctly in forums, you will get banned for a while.

Be warned !

@nishalns:

Sorry about that...I've signed up for a forum for the first time!!!!

But here the resources that I had downloaded didn't seem to work so I posted this question once again....

Hello friend were you able to use the wxLED component? I am trying to use it but not successful yet..Please reply thanks in advance:)

Yes I was. I downloaded the source files from https://sourceforge.net/projects/wxledplugin/files/wxSmithLed.zip/download and built them using codeblocks. I got some errors, but I was able to make appropriate modifications and build the library successfully. I would be happy to send you the ".o" file if you wish to...

i don't think that the .o file is usefull

To use the wxLed component in your projects all you need to do is to copy the led.h/cpp from the C::B SVN source tree into your project folder and make use of it. Its very simple. Don't use the one from the wxSmithLed project on sourceforge - this is outdated.

[jean-raphael]

were is led.h ? i d'ont have anything like that in my wxwidget build ? (stable 3.0.5)

[Miguel Gimenez]

The wxLED name is very misleading, it is not part of wxWidgets.

If you reread the last message before yours:

copy the led.h/cpp from the C::B SVN source tree

That means wxLED is here
