1.mdi in mdi in mdi - 2.6.2

Hi,

i need a nother mdi layer! My Mainframe is derived from mdiParentFrame.
It contains a mdiChildFrame child1.

Now i want to be this child another mdi parent! But i cant figure out how.
If i just want to add a mdiChildFrame child2 to child1.

Is this even possible?

it complains while  when i want to create child2 (cannont convert form
childframe* to parentfrafe*)
make the chil1 a mdiParentFrame didnt work either?

regards, Tobi

2.MDI, XRC, and MSW

I've modified the XRC demo to use MDI for the main frame and a couple  
of the child frames (diffs follow). Once I figured out how to fire  
the handlers for MDI frames (wxResourceHandler::LoadObject() isn't in  
the manual, BTW), it works great on OSX and Debian.

M$W is another matter, though. The client window isn't drawn when the  
main frame first displays, but if you minimize and then restore it,  
it is... but that disables the toolbar.
I tried commenting out just about everything in the constructor, two- 
step creation of the main frame, hand-creating (instead of loading  
from XRC) the main frame, even making the main frame a global  
variable. Obviously, there's something there that I'm missing,  
because the MDI sample does work.

Any ideas?

Regards,
John Ralls

3.Newsbie Problems: Havin a Notebook within an MDI Frame

Hi!

Coming from C++Builder, i'm new to wxWidgets (2.5.2). Unfortunatly i don't
get all this sizer stuff and the documentation is not a good help. 

I'm fiddling with the MDI example. I want to replace the TextWindow on the
left side with a Notebook containing some buttons. Unfortunatly it never
got aligned the way i want and i don't know how to do it. I used wxGlade as
a reference, but it produces code thats obsolete (wxNotebookSizer), not to
mention that it doesn't work either. Here is my code snippet:

// Define my frame constructor
MyFrame::MyFrame(wxWindow *parent,
                 const wxWindowID id,
                 const wxString& title,
                 const wxPoint& pos,
                 const wxSize& size,
                 const long style)
       : wxMDIParentFrame(parent, id, title, pos, size,
                          style | wxNO_FULL_REPAINT_ON_RESIZE)
{
    //textWindow = new wxTextCtrl(this, wxID_ANY, _T("A help window"),
     //                           wxDefaultPosition, wxDefaultSize,
       //                         wxTE_MULTILINE | wxSUNKEN_BORDER);

    notebook_1 = new wxNotebook(this, -1, wxDefaultPosition, wxDefaultSize,
0);
    notebook_1_pane_1 = new wxPanel(notebook_1, -1);
   wxBoxSizer* sizer_1 = new wxBoxSizer(wxVERTICAL);
    notebook_1->AddPage(notebook_1_pane_1, wxT("tab1"));
    sizer_1->Add(new wxNotebookSizer(notebook_1), 1, wxEXPAND, 0);
    //sizer_1->Add(new wxBoxSizer(wxHORIZONTAL));
    sizer_1->Add(  new wxButton( this, wxID_OK, "OK" ),
     0,           // make horizontally unstretchable
     wxALL,       // make border all around (implicit top alignment)
     10 );        // set border width to 10
 SetAutoLayout(true);
    SetSizer(sizer_1);
    //sizer_1->Fit(this);
    //sizer_1->SetSizeHints(this);
    Layout();

#if wxUSE_TOOLBAR
    CreateToolBar(wxNO_BORDER | wxTB_FLAT | wxTB_HORIZONTAL);
    InitToolBar(GetToolBar());
#endif // wxUSE_TOOLBAR

...

This looks horrible. Can anybody help? Thanks in advance.

Cheers

Gunnar

4.MDI w/Notebook problem

Hi all,

I've been following along with the MDI sample included with wxWindows 
(mdi.exe) and adapting it for the interface I want to create. On the left 
hand side in the sample is a wxTextCtrl box. I liked that idea but needed a 
couple of extra controls so I'm trying to change that to wxNotebook. 

After changing it to wxNotebook, I compile and run the program but the 
Notebook is not appearing. I've added a panel to place the notebook on but 
it still isn't appearing.

Any ideas on what is causing the Notebook control to not show up? And why 
would it be any different from wxTextCtrl?

Thanks
Jody

5.window menu for mdi based application

Hi all,
I've a problem. I've an application based on wxwidgets and it's MDI. In 
its previous version (based on wxwindows 2.2.9) I notice that the window 
menu contains a dynamic list with the opened mdi child, in this 
version(based on 2.6.3) I see the window menu with the classical item 
but not this dynamic list. Does anybody know how to implement it?

thank you
bye
