== wxWidgets integration with Pluto ==

wxWidgets must be compiled with: --with-gtk=2 --enable-monolithic --with-sdl --with-opengl

For debug builds, add --enable-debug

sdl: needed by Orbiter opengl: needed by Orbiter

Required debian-pluto packages

Release executables: libwxgtk2.6-0 Debug executables, linked with debug version of the wx library: libwxgtk2.6-dbg


wxWidgets integration with Orbiter

Now, only Linux port of Orbiter uses wxWidgets

A new directory, Orbiter/wxAppMain, was created, which contains only wx-related files All *.cpp and *.h files added in this directory are automatically used by the Makefile in Orbiter

Read the following link "Integrating custom controls in Orbiter" http://10.0.0.175/wiki/index.php/Integrating_custom_controls_in_Orbiter , which will explain how to use the wx dialogs, and how to control them.

Creating a new wxWidgets dialog to be used in Orbiter

example: wxSecurityWizard will be the class name

It should be derived from class wxDialog_Base.

class wxSecurityWizard : public wxDialog_Base { ....... }

wxDialog_Base and other classes already implemented will handle the wx-actions and the Orbiter-tasks.

In "dialog_types.h", E_Dialog_SecurityWizard constant should be added

In "CallBackData.h", a new class should be created, with the data that will be used by the new dialog

if wxSecurityWizard will be used as a popup:

  class SecurityWizardCallBackData : public PopupCallBackData
  {...}

if wxSecurityWizard will be used as a normal dialog:

  class SecurityWizardCallBackData : public PositionCallBackData
  {...}

-- Generic methods from wxDialog_Base that can/should be overrided --

   // load data from external object, called after create
   // by default calls Gui_Refresh
   virtual bool Gui_DataLoad(CallBackData *pCallBackData);
   // save data to external object
   // not called by default
   virtual bool Gui_DataSave(CallBackData *pCallBackData);
   // this should be used when the data from the dialog
   // needs to be transfered to Orbiter
   // GUI refresh related code should be implemented here
   // by default set full-screen or update position
   virtual bool Gui_Refresh(CallBackData *pCallBackData);

-- Other methods from wxDialog_Base --

This function should always be called if the position comes from Orbiter, from a PositionCallBackData derived class.

void Update_Position_FullScreen(const int x, const int y, const int width, const int height, bool bShowFullScreen); // if bShowFullScreen is true, the dialog is created full-screen // otherwise, his position is changed // if the dialog is already in the desired state, then wx functions for full-screen, or SetSize will not be called
