[[Category:Installing Code::Blocks from source]]
These are instructions on how to build Code::Blocks under Linux. These instructions should work for all Linux distros, as we'll be installing from sources.

===Prerequisites===

In order to successfully compile Code::Blocks, the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WxWidgets wxWidgets] User Interface library must be installed. For most Linux users, this is maybe the only dependency not already installed. wxWidget can be used directly on top of the X server, in this case the variant of the wxWidget library is called wxX11. However this library [http://wiki.wxwidgets.org/WxWidgets_Compared_To_Other_Toolkits#Why_You_Shouldn.27t_Use_wxWidgets "is sub-par compared to other toolkits and unstable"]. Hence Code::Blocks uses wxGTK, the version of wxWidget based on GTK+. The exact requirement is libwxGTK-2.8.0 or later (2.8.3 is not recommanded because of some troubles). This creates an additional dependency on GTK+, consider the following:

A possible implementation which does not exist:

''Code::Blocks -> xwWidget (libwxX11) -> X''

Current Code::Blocks implementation:

''Code::Blocks -> '''xwWidget (> libwxGTK2.8)''' -> '''GTK+ (> libgtk-x11-2.0)''' -> X''

This document helps you to install libwxGTK if necessary but does not cover the installation of GTK+. GTK+ is probably installed on your Linux anyway, so don't worry ;)

''Note:'' All the instructions below, assume an existing directory named <tt>~/devel</tt>. If you 'll be using a different one, adjust the path to match.
As a first step create this directory:

<pre>mkdir ~/devel</pre>

=== Checking the presence of GTK+ library ===

Have a look in /usr/lib for something like "libgtk-x11-2.0.so" (Note the library must be 2.0 minimum). Alternatively, do a search with your package manager or go to your Linux distribution forum for help. If you don't want to loose time, you can even forget this check since there is a good probability that everything is already installed.

===Library wxGTK installation===

==== Checking the presence of libwxGTK library ====

In your package manager, look for 'libwxgtk' keyword and verify that '''all''' libwxgtk2.8 stuffs are installed. If you find the libraries uninstalled, well '''just install them and go directly to [https://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=Installing_Code::Blocks_from_source_on_Linux#Code::Blocks_installation Code::Blocks installation]'''.

Alternatively you can do the same in command line (to give an idea, I don't say there is only 2 packages):

<pre>$ ls /usr/lib/libwx_gtk* //to verify the presence
$ sudo apt-get install libwxgtk2.8-dev
$ sudo apt-get install libwxgtk2.8-0</pre>

If you don't find any package you must install the library from source as described below, and you can redo this check afterwards to verify that the installation worked correctly.

''Note for Debian (and Ubuntu?) users:'' You can use

<pre>$ update-alternatives --config wx-config</pre>

to see which version of libwx is there or not and currently active.

====Getting wxGTK sources====

Visit the [http://www.wxwidgets.org wxWidgets web site]. Click the "Download" button at the top of the page. Under wxWidgets 2.8.7 downloads, select wxGTK. Save the file in <tt>~/devel</tt>. After the download finishes, switch to <tt>~/devel</tt>:

<pre>cd ~/devel</pre>

Now, untar the wxGTK sources:

<pre>tar zxf wxGTK-2.8.7.tar.gz</pre>

Switch to the wxGTK directory

<pre>cd wxGTK-2.8.7</pre>

====wxWidgets build====

Here we will create a seperate build directory instead of building from the src directory, so that we can easily rebuild with different options (unicode / ansi, monolithic / many libs, etc).

The documentation says the default is for gtk2 to use unicode and wx > 2.5 to build as a monolithic library. This doesn't appear to be the case, so these flags are passed to configure.

mkdir build_gtk2_shared_monolithic_unicode
cd build_gtk2_shared_monolithic_unicode
../configure --prefix=/opt/wx/2.8 \
--enable-xrc \
--enable-monolithic \
--enable-unicode
make
su
make install
exit

Add /opt/wx/2.8/bin to the PATH (if you're shell is bash then edit /etc/profile or ~/.bash_profile)
(On Suse 10.1 edit /etc/profile.local, it will only be available after a new login). an example PATH
export PATH=/usr/bin:/opt/wx/2.8/bin:$PATH

add /opt/wx/2.8/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf (nano /etc/ld.so.conf)
then run:
ldconfig
source /etc/profile

That's it. Now the linker will look in /opt/wx/2.8/lib for wx libraries and you will have a monolithic shared library unicode build.

To check that things are working, type:
wx-config --prefix
which should give you /opt/wx/2.8
wx-config --libs
which should have at least
-L/opt/wx/2.8/lib -lwx_gtk2-2.8
but can contain other flags as well.
which wx-config
should return /opt/wx/2.8/bin/wx-config

===Code::Blocks installation===

====Getting Code::Blocks sources====

You can get Code::Blocks source code [https://www.codeblocks.org/downloads/6 from the website as a tarball] or from the SVN repository (this second method is described below).

=====From SVN repository=====
NOTICE: The Sourceforge CVS is no longer used although it still exists

Enter your development directory:
<pre>cd ~/devel</pre>

Then checkout the source using one of [https://www.codeblocks.org/downloads/7 these] methods. This will create the directory <tt>trunk</tt>. Change to the source code directory, by issuing the following command:

<pre>cd trunk</pre>

If you are a Gentoo user at this point, please see [[Compiling_Code::Blocks_in_Gentoo]].

Before beginning, it is often a good idea to check you have recent versions of autoconf and automake - repositories versions are not always recent enough. (if you do not have automake, then you will get "cannot find aclocal" error). If you're compiling the svn trunk versions of CodeBlocks (or future versions) then the unix build has switched to autotools. So first build wxWidgets as described above and then build CodeBlocks as follows:

<pre> ./bootstrap</pre>

This sets up the configure script and its dependencies. It only needs to be run once (after downloading the source from svn). '''If you get errors like:'''
aclocal:configure.in:61: warning: macro `AM_OPTIONS_WXCONFIG' not found in library
Then aclocal is having trouble finding the wxWidgets .m4 files. You can do one of two things:
To just get bootstrap to find the path this time do:

<pre>export ACLOCAL_FLAGS="-I `wx-config --prefix`/share/aclocal"</pre> 

To change the aclocal search path more permanently do:
echo `wx-config --prefix`/share/aclocal >> /usr/share/aclocal/dirlist
Then aclocal will also search somewhere like /opt/wx/2.6/share/aclocal

'''''Note for Ubuntu users:''''' The above is not the correct way to fix the AM_* errors. Rather, you only need to install the package named "wx-common" (Universe repository).

If you get something like
The usual way to define `LIBTOOL' is to add `AC_PROG_LIBTOOL'

it can be solved by something like: (adapt path, use `wx-config --prefix` is necessary)

ACLOCAL_FLAGS="-I /usr/share/aclocal" ./bootstrap

(*Note// '''If you run ./bootstrap and get errors like''':
: bad interpreter: File not found
then there exists a problem with DOS line-endings. i had this error after i tried to build a codeblocks from sources which were checked out with cvs on a windows machine. After i checked out a fresh copy of codeblocks from cvs under Ubuntu linux (see above topic: Downloading the latest source package fom SVN), all errors were gone.
//tiwag 051008*) 
Or, instead of downloading from SVN, you might consider using the little command line tool dos2unix, which normally comes with most distributions. //lizzarddude060103
 
If configure aborts with some unspecific error message(".infig.status: error: cannot find input file: Makefile"), you might consider also running dos2unix bootstrap acinclude.m4 codeblocks.pc.in configure.in Makefile.am before running bootstrap. Once you've run the bootstrap script, jump to next step.

====Installing Code::Blocks sources====
You can read the BUILD file included in the source, but everything is very straightforward. Do:

<pre> ./configure
make
make install</pre>

If you have multiple versions of wxWidgets installed or kept them inplace, you can use
./configure --with-wx-config=/path/to/wx-config

'''Note:''' The Nassi Shneiderman plugin (part of the contrib plugins) has a dependency on [http://www.boost.org boost] which is needed to compile this plugin. Boost does not need to be compiled therefore. It is not checked for the existing of boost at the moment (except for debian build-system, there it is a build-dependency), so if you configure C::B to be build without Nassi Schneiderman, it should not lead to problems in case you don't have/want boost.

To uninstall you can later run:
make uninstall

If you want to recompile everything, first run:
<pre> make clean
make distclean
make clean-bin
make clean-zipfiles</pre>
and then follow the above sequence for installing.

By default, CodeBlocks will install to /usr/local. If you want it in its own tree (so you can have multiple versions of CodeBlocks, each in its own subdirectory of /opt) replace the above ./configure command with:
<pre> ./configure --prefix=/opt/codeblocks-svn</pre>
or similar. Then you can later install a different build like:
<pre> ./configure --prefix=/opt/codeblocks2-svn</pre>
followed by 'make && make install' as usual.

By default, CodeBlocks will not compile the contributed plugins from SVN. If you want to compile / install them too, replace the above ./configure command with:
<pre> ./configure --with-contrib-plugins=all</pre>
followed by 'make && make install' as usual.

To see a list of other options available for configuring the build of CodeBlocks do:
<pre> ./configure --help</pre>

To compile under gentoo, use
<pre> ./configure --with-wx-config=wx-config-2.8</pre>

====Resolving issues====

When running Code::Blocks after the installation it might happen, that the system complains:
codeblocks: error while loading shared libraries: libcodeblocks.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
In that case make sure the library path where the Code::Blocks libraries where installed into is "known" to the system. For example: On Ubuntu using a default build process on a clean system will install the Code::Blocks executables to /use/local/bin and the libraries to /usr/local/lib. The latter is usually not known to a "clean" Ubuntu system. To add it to the search path for libraries do the following (as root / using sudo respectively):
Add the following line to the file /etc/ld.so.conf:
/usr/local/lib
...and run:
ldconfig
That's it - Code::Blocks should now work just fine as all libraries are being found.

*{{note|XRCnotworks}} Currently, only one dialog resource per XRC file is imported.

=== Features explained ===

==== {{note|Validators}}Validators ====

The aim of the validator concept is to make dialogs very much easier to write. A validator is an object that can be plugged into a control (such as a wxTextCtrl), and mediates between C++ data and the control, transferring the data in either direction and validating it. It also is able to intercept events generated by the control, providing filtering behaviour without the need to derive a new control class.

How to use validators in a RAD that supports this concept: Just add a variable, select the variable and a validator, and the data transfer between variable and control is done for you.

==== {{note|ConditionalUI}}Conditional UI ====

It's the ability to adapt the user interface to the UI guidelines of different platform.

Just mark elements as for one platform (or several), and preview the look for any given platform.

[[Image:Conditional ui.PNG|Example of how it looks on DialogBlocks]]

==== {{note|EventTable}}Event table and handler generation ====

The RAD generates the event tables and empty handlers (including UI update handlers) so you can immediately concentrate on writing code to make the dialog come to life.

It includes a choice of event types for each window, with function name editing.

'''DialogBlocks Event Handler'''

Here DialogBlocks haves the list of event handlers.

The most noticeable feature here is that if you do a double-click on a event, you're transported to the function associated in the code. It's very handy.

[[Image:Event handler dialogblocks.PNG|Event Tables in DialogBlocks]]

'''VisualWx Event Handler'''

Here VisualWx filters the events:
* Base wxWidgets Events
* Component Events
* Windows Events
* VisualWx Events
* Custom Events

[[Image:Event handler visualwx.PNG|Event Tables in VisualWx]]

==== {{note|Bitmaps}}Bitmap support ====

Bitmaps support means that you can import images into your project from a variety of formats and associate them with your static bitmap and bitmap button controls.

You can specify whether the bitmaps will converted into XPM format (the standard format for small bitmaps in wxWidgets) and whether the XPM image will be inserted as inline C++ code, or loaded from a file.

==== {{note|EnglishDesc}}English descriptions ====

English descriptions show a brief description of each element, to help you get used to sizers and also to make it easier to see at a glance the important aspects of your dialog element.

[[Image:Rad english descriptions.PNG|An example of DialogBlocks English descriptions]]

==== {{note|WindowPointers}}Easy access to window pointers ====

The ''easy access to window pointers'' concept means:

Give each window a variable name, and the RAD will add the name to the class declaration, and initialise it to the appropriate window in the implementation.

In XRC mode, the RAD can generate the code to find the window and assign it to the pointer variable.

==== {{note|TemplateControls}}Template controls ====

Template controls are sets of most common widgets together, like an Ok/Cancel pair buttons inside a sizer, being user-definable.

*{{note|XRCnotworks}} Currently, only one dialog resource per XRC file is imported.

=== Features explained ===

==== {{note|Validators}}Validators ====

The aim of the validator concept is to make dialogs very much easier to write. A validator is an object that can be plugged into a control (such as a wxTextCtrl), and mediates between C++ data and the control, transferring the data in either direction and validating it. It also is able to intercept events generated by the control, providing filtering behaviour without the need to derive a new control class.

How to use validators in a RAD that supports this concept: Just add a variable, select the variable and a validator, and the data transfer between variable and control is done for you.

==== {{note|ConditionalUI}}Conditional UI ====

It's the ability to adapt the user interface to the UI guidelines of different platform.

Just mark elements as for one platform (or several), and preview the look for any given platform.

[[Image:Conditional ui.PNG|Example of how it looks on DialogBlocks]]

==== {{note|EventTable}}Event table and handler generation ====

The RAD generates the event tables and empty handlers (including UI update handlers) so you can immediately concentrate on writing code to make the dialog come to life.

It includes a choice of event types for each window, with function name editing.

'''DialogBlocks Event Handler'''

Here DialogBlocks haves the list of event handlers.

The most noticeable feature here is that if you do a double-click on a event, you're transported to the function associated in the code. It's very handy.

[[Image:Event handler dialogblocks.PNG|Event Tables in DialogBlocks]]

'''VisualWx Event Handler'''

Here VisualWx filters the events:
* Base wxWidgets Events
* Component Events
* Windows Events
* VisualWx Events
* Custom Events

[[Image:Event handler visualwx.PNG|Event Tables in VisualWx]]

==== {{note|Bitmaps}}Bitmap support ====

Bitmaps support means that you can import images into your project from a variety of formats and associate them with your static bitmap and bitmap button controls.

You can specify whether the bitmaps will converted into XPM format (the standard format for small bitmaps in wxWidgets) and whether the XPM image will be inserted as inline C++ code, or loaded from a file.

==== {{note|EnglishDesc}}English descriptions ====

English descriptions show a brief description of each element, to help you get used to sizers and also to make it easier to see at a glance the important aspects of your dialog element.

[[Image:Rad english descriptions.PNG|An example of DialogBlocks English descriptions]]

==== {{note|WindowPointers}}Easy access to window pointers ====

The ''easy access to window pointers'' concept means:

Give each window a variable name, and the RAD will add the name to the class declaration, and initialise it to the appropriate window in the implementation.

In XRC mode, the RAD can generate the code to find the window and assign it to the pointer variable.

==== {{note|TemplateControls}}Template controls ====

Template controls are sets of most common widgets together, like an Ok/Cancel pair buttons inside a sizer, being user-definable.

*{{note|XRCnotworks}} Currently, only one dialog resource per XRC file is imported.

=== Features explained ===

==== {{note|Validators}}Validators ====

The aim of the validator concept is to make dialogs very much easier to write. A validator is an object that can be plugged into a control (such as a wxTextCtrl), and mediates between C++ data and the control, transferring the data in either direction and validating it. It also is able to intercept events generated by the control, providing filtering behaviour without the need to derive a new control class.

How to use validators in a RAD that supports this concept: Just add a variable, select the variable and a validator, and the data transfer between variable and control is done for you.

==== {{note|ConditionalUI}}Conditional UI ====

It's the ability to adapt the user interface to the UI guidelines of different platform.

Just mark elements as for one platform (or several), and preview the look for any given platform.

[[Image:Conditional ui.PNG|Example of how it looks on DialogBlocks]]

==== {{note|EventTable}}Event table and handler generation ====

The RAD generates the event tables and empty handlers (including UI update handlers) so you can immediately concentrate on writing code to make the dialog come to life.

It includes a choice of event types for each window, with function name editing.

'''DialogBlocks Event Handler'''

Here DialogBlocks haves the list of event handlers.

The most noticeable feature here is that if you do a double-click on a event, you're transported to the function associated in the code. It's very handy.

[[Image:Event handler dialogblocks.PNG|Event Tables in DialogBlocks]]

'''VisualWx Event Handler'''

Here VisualWx filters the events:
* Base wxWidgets Events
* Component Events
* Windows Events
* VisualWx Events
* Custom Events

[[Image:Event handler visualwx.PNG|Event Tables in VisualWx]]

==== {{note|Bitmaps}}Bitmap support ====

Bitmaps support means that you can import images into your project from a variety of formats and associate them with your static bitmap and bitmap button controls.

You can specify whether the bitmaps will converted into XPM format (the standard format for small bitmaps in wxWidgets) and whether the XPM image will be inserted as inline C++ code, or loaded from a file.

==== {{note|EnglishDesc}}English descriptions ====

English descriptions show a brief description of each element, to help you get used to sizers and also to make it easier to see at a glance the important aspects of your dialog element.

[[Image:Rad english descriptions.PNG|An example of DialogBlocks English descriptions]]

==== {{note|WindowPointers}}Easy access to window pointers ====

The ''easy access to window pointers'' concept means:

Give each window a variable name, and the RAD will add the name to the class declaration, and initialise it to the appropriate window in the implementation.

In XRC mode, the RAD can generate the code to find the window and assign it to the pointer variable.

==== {{note|TemplateControls}}Template controls ====

Template controls are sets of most common widgets together, like an Ok/Cancel pair buttons inside a sizer, being user-definable.

Code::Blocks Plugins

2010-07-20T03:59:45Z

Cryogen: Added a bunch of recent plug-ins.

[[Category: User Documentation]]
== General ==

Code::Blocks' features can be extend by using '''plugins''', most of them listed on this page. There are generally three types of plugins:
# Core plugins - developed and maintained by the core C::B team.
# Contrib plugins - developed and maintained by the community and proven to be very valuable. So they are integrated into the C::B SVN.
# 3rd party plugins - developed and maintained by the community but not (yet?) in the C::B repository. Theses plugins often have their own repository or are being posted (including the source code) in the forums.

'''If you are looking for plugins:'''
# Look in the official release. Notice that the installer / package manager might require you to enable some of the plugins specifically. So READ carefully.
# Search the forums for announcements, especially the forums at [/index.php/board,14.0.html].
# There might be information on the WiKi concerning other plugins on this page and '''[[Announcement_for_plugins/patches|here]]'''.

For Windows users, the default behavior of the current installer (10.05) does not install contrib plugins. You need to manually check the "contrib plugin" checkbox when asked for selected components to install. There is no way to install them manually afterwards.

'''If you are developing plugins:'''
Surely you can work with plugin as you like, but here are some suggestions:
* Announce them in the plugin development board in the forums - including the (initial) source code at [/index.php/board,14.0.html].

OR

* Setup your own webpage (or use a file sharing platform) and post the link to the sources/binaries/svn access in the plugin development board in the forums at [/index.php/board,14.0.html].

OR

* Setup a repository, probably at BerliOS or SourceForge, post the link to the sources/binaries/svn access in the plugin development board in the forums at [/index.php/board,14.0.html]. Notice: This is very convenient as attachments in our forum might be deleted from time to time. So it is not safe to post source code in the forums.

THEN

# Enter the plugins description on this page.
# Announce the plugin '''[[Announcement_for_plugins/patches|here]]''' using '''[[Template_for_plugin_announcement|this]]''' template.

Code::Blocks Plugins

2010-07-20T03:36:02Z

Cryogen: Added DoxyBlocks.

[[Category: User Documentation]]
== General ==

Code::Blocks' features can be extend by using '''plugins''', most of them listed on this page. There are generally three types of plugins:
# Core plugins - developed and maintained by the core C::B team.
# Contrib plugins - developed and maintained by the community and proven to be very valuable. So they are integrated into the C::B SVN.
# 3rd party plugins - developed and maintained by the community but not (yet?) in the C::B repository. Theses plugins often have their own repository or are being posted (including the source code) in the forums.

'''If you are looking for plugins:'''
# Look in the official release. Notice that the installer / package manager might require you to enable some of the plugins specifically. So READ carefully.
# Search the forums for announcements, especially the forums at [/index.php/board,14.0.html].
# There might be information on the WiKi concerning other plugins on this page and '''[[Announcement_for_plugins/patches|here]]'''.

For Windows users, the default behavior of the current installer (10.05) does not install contrib plugins. You need to manually check the "contrib plugin" checkbox when asked for selected components to install. There is no way to install them manually afterwards.

'''If you are developing plugins:'''
Surely you can work with plugin as you like, but here are some suggestions:
* Announce them in the plugin development board in the forums - including the (initial) source code at [/index.php/board,14.0.html].

OR

* Setup your own webpage (or use a file sharing platform) and post the link to the sources/binaries/svn access in the plugin development board in the forums at [/index.php/board,14.0.html].

OR

* Setup a repository, probably at BerliOS or SourceForge, post the link to the sources/binaries/svn access in the plugin development board in the forums at [/index.php/board,14.0.html]. Notice: This is very convenient as attachments in our forum might be deleted from time to time. So it is not safe to post source code in the forums.

THEN

# Enter the plugins description on this page.
# Announce the plugin '''[[Announcement_for_plugins/patches|here]]''' using '''[[Template_for_plugin_announcement|this]]''' template.

Announcement for plugins/patches

2010-07-20T03:32:33Z

Cryogen: Removed DoxyBlocks.

=== HowTo announce a new plugin/patch or similar ===

''Please read carefully:''

This WiKi section is to announce:
* a new plugin that is '''not''' within the contrib folder of the SVN repository
* a patch that is '''not''' a bugfix or similar and/or will '''not''' be applied to the SVN repository (e.g. because it's very specific)
* a new lexer/template that is '''not''' completed or approved and/or will '''not''' be added to the SVN

If a plugin/patch/lexer/template is moved to the repository don't forget to remove it from here! This section is intended to '''collect''' the information about available plugins/patches/lexerers/templates in one place. So the announcement should be short and clear. It should (however) include at least the following content:
* Name of the plugin/patch/lexer/template and purpose 
* Version (state) and date of last update (or release in the first place) 
* Link to a thread (to be created) in the developers (plugin) forum for discussion of features, bugs, wishlist etc. 
* A link where the '''most up-to-date''' version can be downloaded (e.g. in the forum). 
The best way may be to copy the section from the '''template''' plugin/patch/lexer/template and update it with your information. This will ensure consistency in the best way! Read the article [[How to add another announcement]] to read how to change the WiKi accordingly.

=== Patch announcements ===

So far there are no new patches.

* [[Template for patch announcement]] (Read this before posting a new patch!)

=== Plugin announcements ===

These are the user-contributed plugins:

* [[Replace in Files]] (MortenMacFly)
* [[Tab versus Space]] (MortenMacFly)
* [[Edit Project]] (Killerbot)
* [[Matching Brace]] (Killerbot)
* [[Library Finder]] (byo)
* [[Environment Variables Editor]] (MortenMacFly)

* [[Python plugin]] (dmoore)
* [[FindBrokenFiles scripted plugin]] (MortenMacFly)
* [[AutoVersioning]] (JGM)
* [[DragScroll plugin]]
* [[BrowseTracker plugin]]
* [[FortranProject plugin]]

* [[Template for plugin announcement]] (Read this before posting a new plugin!)

=== Lexer/Templates announcements ===

*{{note|XRCnotworks}} Currently, only one dialog resource per XRC file is imported.

=== Features explained ===

==== {{note|Validators}}Validators ====

The aim of the validator concept is to make dialogs very much easier to write. A validator is an object that can be plugged into a control (such as a wxTextCtrl), and mediates between C++ data and the control, transferring the data in either direction and validating it. It also is able to intercept events generated by the control, providing filtering behaviour without the need to derive a new control class.

How to use validators in a RAD that supports this concept: Just add a variable, select the variable and a validator, and the data transfer between variable and control is done for you.

==== {{note|ConditionalUI}}Conditional UI ====

It's the ability to adapt the user interface to the UI guidelines of different platform.

Just mark elements as for one platform (or several), and preview the look for any given platform.

[[Image:Conditional ui.PNG|Example of how it looks on DialogBlocks]]

==== {{note|EventTable}}Event table and handler generation ====

The RAD generates the event tables and empty handlers (including UI update handlers) so you can immediately concentrate on writing code to make the dialog come to life.

It includes a choice of event types for each window, with function name editing.

'''DialogBlocks Event Handler'''

Here DialogBlocks haves the list of event handlers.

The most noticeable feature here is that if you do a double-click on a event, you're transported to the function associated in the code. It's very handy.

[[Image:Event handler dialogblocks.PNG|Event Tables in DialogBlocks]]

'''VisualWx Event Handler'''

Here VisualWx filters the events:
* Base wxWidgets Events
* Component Events
* Windows Events
* VisualWx Events
* Custom Events

[[Image:Event handler visualwx.PNG|Event Tables in VisualWx]]

==== {{note|Bitmaps}}Bitmap support ====

Bitmaps support means that you can import images into your project from a variety of formats and associate them with your static bitmap and bitmap button controls.

You can specify whether the bitmaps will converted into XPM format (the standard format for small bitmaps in wxWidgets) and whether the XPM image will be inserted as inline C++ code, or loaded from a file.

==== {{note|EnglishDesc}}English descriptions ====

English descriptions show a brief description of each element, to help you get used to sizers and also to make it easier to see at a glance the important aspects of your dialog element.

[[Image:Rad english descriptions.PNG|An example of DialogBlocks English descriptions]]

==== {{note|WindowPointers}}Easy access to window pointers ====

The ''easy access to window pointers'' concept means:

Give each window a variable name, and the RAD will add the name to the class declaration, and initialise it to the appropriate window in the implementation.

In XRC mode, the RAD can generate the code to find the window and assign it to the pointer variable.

==== {{note|TemplateControls}}Template controls ====

Template controls are sets of most common widgets together, like an Ok/Cancel pair buttons inside a sizer, being user-definable.

*{{note|XRCnotworks}} Currently, only one dialog resource per XRC file is imported.

=== Features explained ===

==== {{note|Validators}}Validators ====

The aim of the validator concept is to make dialogs very much easier to write. A validator is an object that can be plugged into a control (such as a wxTextCtrl), and mediates between C++ data and the control, transferring the data in either direction and validating it. It also is able to intercept events generated by the control, providing filtering behaviour without the need to derive a new control class.

How to use validators in a RAD that supports this concept: Just add a variable, select the variable and a validator, and the data transfer between variable and control is done for you.

==== {{note|ConditionalUI}}Conditional UI ====

It's the ability to adapt the user interface to the UI guidelines of different platform.

Just mark elements as for one platform (or several), and preview the look for any given platform.

[[Image:Conditional ui.PNG|Example of how it looks on DialogBlocks]]

==== {{note|EventTable}}Event table and handler generation ====

The RAD generates the event tables and empty handlers (including UI update handlers) so you can immediately concentrate on writing code to make the dialog come to life.

It includes a choice of event types for each window, with function name editing.

'''DialogBlocks Event Handler'''

Here DialogBlocks haves the list of event handlers.

The most noticeable feature here is that if you do a double-click on a event, you're transported to the function associated in the code. It's very handy.

[[Image:Event handler dialogblocks.PNG|Event Tables in DialogBlocks]]

'''VisualWx Event Handler'''

Here VisualWx filters the events:
* Base wxWidgets Events
* Component Events
* Windows Events
* VisualWx Events
* Custom Events

[[Image:Event handler visualwx.PNG|Event Tables in VisualWx]]

==== {{note|Bitmaps}}Bitmap support ====

Bitmaps support means that you can import images into your project from a variety of formats and associate them with your static bitmap and bitmap button controls.

You can specify whether the bitmaps will converted into XPM format (the standard format for small bitmaps in wxWidgets) and whether the XPM image will be inserted as inline C++ code, or loaded from a file.

==== {{note|EnglishDesc}}English descriptions ====

English descriptions show a brief description of each element, to help you get used to sizers and also to make it easier to see at a glance the important aspects of your dialog element.

[[Image:Rad english descriptions.PNG|An example of DialogBlocks English descriptions]]

==== {{note|WindowPointers}}Easy access to window pointers ====

The ''easy access to window pointers'' concept means:

Give each window a variable name, and the RAD will add the name to the class declaration, and initialise it to the appropriate window in the implementation.

In XRC mode, the RAD can generate the code to find the window and assign it to the pointer variable.

==== {{note|TemplateControls}}Template controls ====

Template controls are sets of most common widgets together, like an Ok/Cancel pair buttons inside a sizer, being user-definable.

*{{note|XRCnotworks}} Currently, only one dialog resource per XRC file is imported.

=== Features explained ===

==== {{note|Validators}}Validators ====

The aim of the validator concept is to make dialogs very much easier to write. A validator is an object that can be plugged into a control (such as a wxTextCtrl), and mediates between C++ data and the control, transferring the data in either direction and validating it. It also is able to intercept events generated by the control, providing filtering behaviour without the need to derive a new control class.

How to use validators in a RAD that supports this concept: Just add a variable, select the variable and a validator, and the data transfer between variable and control is done for you.

==== {{note|ConditionalUI}}Conditional UI ====

It's the ability to adapt the user interface to the UI guidelines of different platform.

Just mark elements as for one platform (or several), and preview the look for any given platform.

[[Image:Conditional ui.PNG|Example of how it looks on DialogBlocks]]

==== {{note|EventTable}}Event table and handler generation ====

The RAD generates the event tables and empty handlers (including UI update handlers) so you can immediately concentrate on writing code to make the dialog come to life.

It includes a choice of event types for each window, with function name editing.

'''DialogBlocks Event Handler'''

Here DialogBlocks haves the list of event handlers.

The most noticeable feature here is that if you do a double-click on a event, you're transported to the function associated in the code. It's very handy.

[[Image:Event handler dialogblocks.PNG|Event Tables in DialogBlocks]]

'''VisualWx Event Handler'''

Here VisualWx filters the events:
* Base wxWidgets Events
* Component Events
* Windows Events
* VisualWx Events
* Custom Events

[[Image:Event handler visualwx.PNG|Event Tables in VisualWx]]

==== {{note|Bitmaps}}Bitmap support ====

Bitmaps support means that you can import images into your project from a variety of formats and associate them with your static bitmap and bitmap button controls.

You can specify whether the bitmaps will converted into XPM format (the standard format for small bitmaps in wxWidgets) and whether the XPM image will be inserted as inline C++ code, or loaded from a file.

==== {{note|EnglishDesc}}English descriptions ====

English descriptions show a brief description of each element, to help you get used to sizers and also to make it easier to see at a glance the important aspects of your dialog element.

[[Image:Rad english descriptions.PNG|An example of DialogBlocks English descriptions]]

==== {{note|WindowPointers}}Easy access to window pointers ====

The ''easy access to window pointers'' concept means:

Give each window a variable name, and the RAD will add the name to the class declaration, and initialise it to the appropriate window in the implementation.

In XRC mode, the RAD can generate the code to find the window and assign it to the pointer variable.

==== {{note|TemplateControls}}Template controls ====

Template controls are sets of most common widgets together, like an Ok/Cancel pair buttons inside a sizer, being user-definable.

*{{note|XRCnotworks}} Currently, only one dialog resource per XRC file is imported.

=== Features explained ===

==== {{note|Validators}}Validators ====

The aim of the validator concept is to make dialogs very much easier to write. A validator is an object that can be plugged into a control (such as a wxTextCtrl), and mediates between C++ data and the control, transferring the data in either direction and validating it. It also is able to intercept events generated by the control, providing filtering behaviour without the need to derive a new control class.

How to use validators in a RAD that supports this concept: Just add a variable, select the variable and a validator, and the data transfer between variable and control is done for you.

==== {{note|ConditionalUI}}Conditional UI ====

It's the ability to adapt the user interface to the UI guidelines of different platform.

Just mark elements as for one platform (or several), and preview the look for any given platform.

[[Image:Conditional ui.PNG|Example of how it looks on DialogBlocks]]

==== {{note|EventTable}}Event table and handler generation ====

The RAD generates the event tables and empty handlers (including UI update handlers) so you can immediately concentrate on writing code to make the dialog come to life.

It includes a choice of event types for each window, with function name editing.

'''DialogBlocks Event Handler'''

Here DialogBlocks haves the list of event handlers.

The most noticeable feature here is that if you do a double-click on a event, you're transported to the function associated in the code. It's very handy.

[[Image:Event handler dialogblocks.PNG|Event Tables in DialogBlocks]]

'''VisualWx Event Handler'''

Here VisualWx filters the events:
* Base wxWidgets Events
* Component Events
* Windows Events
* VisualWx Events
* Custom Events

[[Image:Event handler visualwx.PNG|Event Tables in VisualWx]]

==== {{note|Bitmaps}}Bitmap support ====

Bitmaps support means that you can import images into your project from a variety of formats and associate them with your static bitmap and bitmap button controls.

You can specify whether the bitmaps will converted into XPM format (the standard format for small bitmaps in wxWidgets) and whether the XPM image will be inserted as inline C++ code, or loaded from a file.

==== {{note|EnglishDesc}}English descriptions ====

English descriptions show a brief description of each element, to help you get used to sizers and also to make it easier to see at a glance the important aspects of your dialog element.

[[Image:Rad english descriptions.PNG|An example of DialogBlocks English descriptions]]

==== {{note|WindowPointers}}Easy access to window pointers ====

The ''easy access to window pointers'' concept means:

Give each window a variable name, and the RAD will add the name to the class declaration, and initialise it to the appropriate window in the implementation.

In XRC mode, the RAD can generate the code to find the window and assign it to the pointer variable.

==== {{note|TemplateControls}}Template controls ====

Template controls are sets of most common widgets together, like an Ok/Cancel pair buttons inside a sizer, being user-definable.

*{{note|XRCnotworks}} Currently, only one dialog resource per XRC file is imported.

=== Features explained ===

==== {{note|Validators}}Validators ====

The aim of the validator concept is to make dialogs very much easier to write. A validator is an object that can be plugged into a control (such as a wxTextCtrl), and mediates between C++ data and the control, transferring the data in either direction and validating it. It also is able to intercept events generated by the control, providing filtering behaviour without the need to derive a new control class.

How to use validators in a RAD that supports this concept: Just add a variable, select the variable and a validator, and the data transfer between variable and control is done for you.

==== {{note|ConditionalUI}}Conditional UI ====

It's the ability to adapt the user interface to the UI guidelines of different platform.

Just mark elements as for one platform (or several), and preview the look for any given platform.

[[Image:Conditional ui.PNG|Example of how it looks on DialogBlocks]]

==== {{note|EventTable}}Event table and handler generation ====

The RAD generates the event tables and empty handlers (including UI update handlers) so you can immediately concentrate on writing code to make the dialog come to life.

It includes a choice of event types for each window, with function name editing.

'''DialogBlocks Event Handler'''

Here DialogBlocks haves the list of event handlers.

The most noticeable feature here is that if you do a double-click on a event, you're transported to the function associated in the code. It's very handy.

'''VisualWx Event Handler'''

Here VisualWx filters the events:
* Base wxWidgets Events
* Component Events
* Windows Events
* VisualWx Events
* Custom Events

==== {{note|Bitmaps}}Bitmap support ====

Bitmaps support means that you can import images into your project from a variety of formats and associate them with your static bitmap and bitmap button controls.

You can specify whether the bitmaps will converted into XPM format (the standard format for small bitmaps in wxWidgets) and whether the XPM image will be inserted as inline C++ code, or loaded from a file.

==== {{note|EnglishDesc}}English descriptions ====

English descriptions show a brief description of each element, to help you get used to sizers and also to make it easier to see at a glance the important aspects of your dialog element.

==== {{note|WindowPointers}}Easy access to window pointers ====

The ''easy access to window pointers'' concept means:

Give each window a variable name, and the RAD will add the name to the class declaration, and initialise it to the appropriate window in the implementation.

In XRC mode, the RAD can generate the code to find the window and assign it to the pointer variable.

==== {{note|TemplateControls}}Template controls ====

Template controls are sets of most common widgets together, like an Ok/Cancel pair buttons inside a sizer, being user-definable.

*{{note|XRCnotworks}} Currently, only one dialog resource per XRC file is imported.

=== Features explained ===

==== {{note|Validators}}Validators ====

The aim of the validator concept is to make dialogs very much easier to write. A validator is an object that can be plugged into a control (such as a wxTextCtrl), and mediates between C++ data and the control, transferring the data in either direction and validating it. It also is able to intercept events generated by the control, providing filtering behaviour without the need to derive a new control class.

How to use validators in a RAD that supports this concept: Just add a variable, select the variable and a validator, and the data transfer between variable and control is done for you.

==== {{note|ConditionalUI}}Conditional UI ====

It's the ability to adapt the user interface to the UI guidelines of different platform.

Just mark elements as for one platform (or several), and preview the look for any given platform.

[[Image:Conditional ui.PNG|Example of how it looks on DialogBlocks]]

==== {{note|EventTable}}Event table and handler generation ====

The RAD generates the event tables and empty handlers (including UI update handlers) so you can immediately concentrate on writing code to make the dialog come to life.

It includes a choice of event types for each window, with function name editing.

'''DialogBlocks Event Handler'''

Here DialogBlocks haves the list of event handlers.

The most noticeable feature here is that if you do a double-click on a event, you're transported to the function associated in the code. It's very handy.

[[Image:Event handler dialogblocks.PNG|Event Tables in DialogBlocks]]

'''VisualWx Event Handler'''

Here VisualWx filters the events:
* Base wxWidgets Events
* Component Events
* Windows Events
* VisualWx Events
* Custom Events

[[Image:Event handler visualwx.PNG|Event Tables in VisualWx]]

==== {{note|Bitmaps}}Bitmap support ====

Bitmaps support means that you can import images into your project from a variety of formats and associate them with your static bitmap and bitmap button controls.

You can specify whether the bitmaps will converted into XPM format (the standard format for small bitmaps in wxWidgets) and whether the XPM image will be inserted as inline C++ code, or loaded from a file.

==== {{note|EnglishDesc}}English descriptions ====

English descriptions show a brief description of each element, to help you get used to sizers and also to make it easier to see at a glance the important aspects of your dialog element.

[[Image:Rad english descriptions.PNG|An example of DialogBlocks English descriptions]]

==== {{note|WindowPointers}}Easy access to window pointers ====

The ''easy access to window pointers'' concept means:

Give each window a variable name, and the RAD will add the name to the class declaration, and initialise it to the appropriate window in the implementation.

In XRC mode, the RAD can generate the code to find the window and assign it to the pointer variable.

==== {{note|TemplateControls}}Template controls ====

Template controls are sets of most common widgets together, like an Ok/Cancel pair buttons inside a sizer, being user-definable.

*{{note|XRCnotworks}} Currently, only one dialog resource per XRC file is imported.

=== Features explained ===

==== {{note|Validators}}Validators ====

The aim of the validator concept is to make dialogs very much easier to write. A validator is an object that can be plugged into a control (such as a wxTextCtrl), and mediates between C++ data and the control, transferring the data in either direction and validating it. It also is able to intercept events generated by the control, providing filtering behaviour without the need to derive a new control class.

How to use validators in a RAD that supports this concept: Just add a variable, select the variable and a validator, and the data transfer between variable and control is done for you.

==== {{note|ConditionalUI}}Conditional UI ====

It's the ability to adapt the user interface to the UI guidelines of different platform.

Just mark elements as for one platform (or several), and preview the look for any given platform.

[[Image:Conditional ui.PNG|Example of how it looks on DialogBlocks]]

==== {{note|EventTable}}Event table and handler generation ====

The RAD generates the event tables and empty handlers (including UI update handlers) so you can immediately concentrate on writing code to make the dialog come to life.

It includes a choice of event types for each window, with function name editing.

'''DialogBlocks Event Handler'''

Here DialogBlocks haves the list of event handlers.

The most noticeable feature here is that if you do a double-click on a event, you're transported to the function associated in the code. It's very handy.

[[Image:Event handler dialogblocks.PNG|Event Tables in DialogBlocks]]

'''VisualWx Event Handler'''

Here VisualWx filters the events:
* Base wxWidgets Events
* Component Events
* Windows Events
* VisualWx Events
* Custom Events

[[Image:Event handler visualwx.PNG|Event Tables in VisualWx]]

==== {{note|Bitmaps}}Bitmap support ====

Bitmaps support means that you can import images into your project from a variety of formats and associate them with your static bitmap and bitmap button controls.

You can specify whether the bitmaps will converted into XPM format (the standard format for small bitmaps in wxWidgets) and whether the XPM image will be inserted as inline C++ code, or loaded from a file.

==== {{note|EnglishDesc}}English descriptions ====

English descriptions show a brief description of each element, to help you get used to sizers and also to make it easier to see at a glance the important aspects of your dialog element.

[[Image:Rad english descriptions.PNG|An example of DialogBlocks English descriptions]]

==== {{note|WindowPointers}}Easy access to window pointers ====

The ''easy access to window pointers'' concept means:

Give each window a variable name, and the RAD will add the name to the class declaration, and initialise it to the appropriate window in the implementation.

In XRC mode, the RAD can generate the code to find the window and assign it to the pointer variable.

==== {{note|TemplateControls}}Template controls ====

Template controls are sets of most common widgets together, like an Ok/Cancel pair buttons inside a sizer, being user-definable.

*{{note|XRCnotworks}} Currently, only one dialog resource per XRC file is imported.

=== Features explained ===

==== {{note|Validators}}Validators ====

The aim of the validator concept is to make dialogs very much easier to write. A validator is an object that can be plugged into a control (such as a wxTextCtrl), and mediates between C++ data and the control, transferring the data in either direction and validating it. It also is able to intercept events generated by the control, providing filtering behaviour without the need to derive a new control class.

How to use validators in a RAD that supports this concept: Just add a variable, select the variable and a validator, and the data transfer between variable and control is done for you.

==== {{note|ConditionalUI}}Conditional UI ====

It's the ability to adapt the user interface to the UI guidelines of different platform.

Just mark elements as for one platform (or several), and preview the look for any given platform.

[[Image:Conditional ui.PNG|Example of how it looks on DialogBlocks]]

==== {{note|EventTable}}Event table and handler generation ====

The RAD generates the event tables and empty handlers (including UI update handlers) so you can immediately concentrate on writing code to make the dialog come to life.

It includes a choice of event types for each window, with function name editing.

'''DialogBlocks Event Handler'''

Here DialogBlocks haves the list of event handlers.

The most noticeable feature here is that if you do a double-click on a event, you're transported to the function associated in the code. It's very handy.

[[Image:Event handler dialogblocks.PNG|Event Tables in DialogBlocks]]

'''VisualWx Event Handler'''

Here VisualWx filters the events:
* Base wxWidgets Events
* Component Events
* Windows Events
* VisualWx Events
* Custom Events

[[Image:Event handler visualwx.PNG|Event Tables in VisualWx]]

==== {{note|Bitmaps}}Bitmap support ====

Bitmaps support means that you can import images into your project from a variety of formats and associate them with your static bitmap and bitmap button controls.

You can specify whether the bitmaps will converted into XPM format (the standard format for small bitmaps in wxWidgets) and whether the XPM image will be inserted as inline C++ code, or loaded from a file.

==== {{note|EnglishDesc}}English descriptions ====

English descriptions show a brief description of each element, to help you get used to sizers and also to make it easier to see at a glance the important aspects of your dialog element.

[[Image:Rad english descriptions.PNG|An example of DialogBlocks English descriptions]]

==== {{note|WindowPointers}}Easy access to window pointers ====

The ''easy access to window pointers'' concept means:

Give each window a variable name, and the RAD will add the name to the class declaration, and initialise it to the appropriate window in the implementation.

In XRC mode, the RAD can generate the code to find the window and assign it to the pointer variable.

==== {{note|TemplateControls}}Template controls ====

Template controls are sets of most common widgets together, like an Ok/Cancel pair buttons inside a sizer, being user-definable.

*{{note|XRCnotworks}} Currently, only one dialog resource per XRC file is imported.

=== Features explained ===

==== {{note|Validators}}Validators ====

The aim of the validator concept is to make dialogs very much easier to write. A validator is an object that can be plugged into a control (such as a wxTextCtrl), and mediates between C++ data and the control, transferring the data in either direction and validating it. It also is able to intercept events generated by the control, providing filtering behaviour without the need to derive a new control class.

How to use validators in a RAD that supports this concept: Just add a variable, select the variable and a validator, and the data transfer between variable and control is done for you.

==== {{note|ConditionalUI}}Conditional UI ====

It's the ability to adapt the user interface to the UI guidelines of different platform.

Just mark elements as for one platform (or several), and preview the look for any given platform.

[[Image:Conditional ui.PNG|Example of how it looks on DialogBlocks]]

==== {{note|EventTable}}Event table and handler generation ====

The RAD generates the event tables and empty handlers (including UI update handlers) so you can immediately concentrate on writing code to make the dialog come to life.

It includes a choice of event types for each window, with function name editing.

'''DialogBlocks Event Handler'''

Here DialogBlocks haves the list of event handlers.

The most noticeable feature here is that if you do a double-click on a event, you're transported to the function associated in the code. It's very handy.

[[Image:Event handler dialogblocks.PNG|Event Tables in DialogBlocks]]

'''VisualWx Event Handler'''

Here VisualWx filters the events:
* Base wxWidgets Events
* Component Events
* Windows Events
* VisualWx Events
* Custom Events

[[Image:Event handler visualwx.PNG|Event Tables in VisualWx]]

==== {{note|Bitmaps}}Bitmap support ====

Bitmaps support means that you can import images into your project from a variety of formats and associate them with your static bitmap and bitmap button controls.

You can specify whether the bitmaps will converted into XPM format (the standard format for small bitmaps in wxWidgets) and whether the XPM image will be inserted as inline C++ code, or loaded from a file.

==== {{note|EnglishDesc}}English descriptions ====

English descriptions show a brief description of each element, to help you get used to sizers and also to make it easier to see at a glance the important aspects of your dialog element.

[[Image:Rad english descriptions.PNG|An example of DialogBlocks English descriptions]]

==== {{note|WindowPointers}}Easy access to window pointers ====

The ''easy access to window pointers'' concept means:

Give each window a variable name, and the RAD will add the name to the class declaration, and initialise it to the appropriate window in the implementation.

In XRC mode, the RAD can generate the code to find the window and assign it to the pointer variable.

==== {{note|TemplateControls}}Template controls ====

Template controls are sets of most common widgets together, like an Ok/Cancel pair buttons inside a sizer, being user-definable.

*{{note|XRCnotworks}} Currently, only one dialog resource per XRC file is imported.

=== Features explained ===

==== {{note|Validators}}Validators ====

The aim of the validator concept is to make dialogs very much easier to write. A validator is an object that can be plugged into a control (such as a wxTextCtrl), and mediates between C++ data and the control, transferring the data in either direction and validating it. It also is able to intercept events generated by the control, providing filtering behaviour without the need to derive a new control class.

How to use validators in a RAD that supports this concept: Just add a variable, select the variable and a validator, and the data transfer between variable and control is done for you.

==== {{note|ConditionalUI}}Conditional UI ====

It's the ability to adapt the user interface to the UI guidelines of different platform.

Just mark elements as for one platform (or several), and preview the look for any given platform.

[[Image:Conditional ui.PNG|Example of how it looks on DialogBlocks]]

==== {{note|EventTable}}Event table and handler generation ====

The RAD generates the event tables and empty handlers (including UI update handlers) so you can immediately concentrate on writing code to make the dialog come to life.

It includes a choice of event types for each window, with function name editing.

'''DialogBlocks Event Handler'''

Here DialogBlocks haves the list of event handlers.

The most noticeable feature here is that if you do a double-click on a event, you're transported to the function associated in the code. It's very handy.

[[Image:Event handler dialogblocks.PNG|Event Tables in DialogBlocks]]

'''VisualWx Event Handler'''

Here VisualWx filters the events:
* Base wxWidgets Events
* Component Events
* Windows Events
* VisualWx Events
* Custom Events

[[Image:Event handler visualwx.PNG|Event Tables in VisualWx]]

==== {{note|Bitmaps}}Bitmap support ====

Bitmaps support means that you can import images into your project from a variety of formats and associate them with your static bitmap and bitmap button controls.

You can specify whether the bitmaps will converted into XPM format (the standard format for small bitmaps in wxWidgets) and whether the XPM image will be inserted as inline C++ code, or loaded from a file.

==== {{note|EnglishDesc}}English descriptions ====

English descriptions show a brief description of each element, to help you get used to sizers and also to make it easier to see at a glance the important aspects of your dialog element.

[[Image:Rad english descriptions.PNG|An example of DialogBlocks English descriptions]]

==== {{note|WindowPointers}}Easy access to window pointers ====

The ''easy access to window pointers'' concept means:

Give each window a variable name, and the RAD will add the name to the class declaration, and initialise it to the appropriate window in the implementation.

In XRC mode, the RAD can generate the code to find the window and assign it to the pointer variable.

==== {{note|TemplateControls}}Template controls ====

Template controls are sets of most common widgets together, like an Ok/Cancel pair buttons inside a sizer, being user-definable.

*{{note|XRCnotworks}} Currently, only one dialog resource per XRC file is imported.

=== Features explained ===

==== {{note|Validators}}Validators ====

The aim of the validator concept is to make dialogs very much easier to write. A validator is an object that can be plugged into a control (such as a wxTextCtrl), and mediates between C++ data and the control, transferring the data in either direction and validating it. It also is able to intercept events generated by the control, providing filtering behaviour without the need to derive a new control class.

How to use validators in a RAD that supports this concept: Just add a variable, select the variable and a validator, and the data transfer between variable and control is done for you.

==== {{note|ConditionalUI}}Conditional UI ====

It's the ability to adapt the user interface to the UI guidelines of different platform.

Just mark elements as for one platform (or several), and preview the look for any given platform.

[[Image:Conditional ui.PNG|Example of how it looks on DialogBlocks]]

==== {{note|EventTable}}Event table and handler generation ====

The RAD generates the event tables and empty handlers (including UI update handlers) so you can immediately concentrate on writing code to make the dialog come to life.

It includes a choice of event types for each window, with function name editing.

'''DialogBlocks Event Handler'''

Here DialogBlocks haves the list of event handlers.

The most noticeable feature here is that if you do a double-click on a event, you're transported to the function associated in the code. It's very handy.

'''VisualWx Event Handler'''

Here VisualWx filters the events:
* Base wxWidgets Events
* Component Events
* Windows Events
* VisualWx Events
* Custom Events

==== {{note|Bitmaps}}Bitmap support ====

Bitmaps support means that you can import images into your project from a variety of formats and associate them with your static bitmap and bitmap button controls.

You can specify whether the bitmaps will converted into XPM format (the standard format for small bitmaps in wxWidgets) and whether the XPM image will be inserted as inline C++ code, or loaded from a file.

==== {{note|EnglishDesc}}English descriptions ====

English descriptions show a brief description of each element, to help you get used to sizers and also to make it easier to see at a glance the important aspects of your dialog element.

==== {{note|WindowPointers}}Easy access to window pointers ====

The ''easy access to window pointers'' concept means:

Give each window a variable name, and the RAD will add the name to the class declaration, and initialise it to the appropriate window in the implementation.

In XRC mode, the RAD can generate the code to find the window and assign it to the pointer variable.

==== {{note|TemplateControls}}Template controls ====

Template controls are sets of most common widgets together, like an Ok/Cancel pair buttons inside a sizer, being user-definable.

*{{note|XRCnotworks}} Currently, only one dialog resource per XRC file is imported.

=== Features explained ===

==== {{note|Validators}}Validators ====

The aim of the validator concept is to make dialogs very much easier to write. A validator is an object that can be plugged into a control (such as a wxTextCtrl), and mediates between C++ data and the control, transferring the data in either direction and validating it. It also is able to intercept events generated by the control, providing filtering behaviour without the need to derive a new control class.

How to use validators in a RAD that supports this concept: Just add a variable, select the variable and a validator, and the data transfer between variable and control is done for you.

==== {{note|ConditionalUI}}Conditional UI ====

It's the ability to adapt the user interface to the UI guidelines of different platform.

Just mark elements as for one platform (or several), and preview the look for any given platform.

[[Image:Conditional ui.PNG|Example of how it looks on DialogBlocks]]

==== {{note|EventTable}}Event table and handler generation ====

The RAD generates the event tables and empty handlers (including UI update handlers) so you can immediately concentrate on writing code to make the dialog come to life.

It includes a choice of event types for each window, with function name editing.

'''DialogBlocks Event Handler'''

Here DialogBlocks haves the list of event handlers.

The most noticeable feature here is that if you do a double-click on a event, you're transported to the function associated in the code. It's very handy.

[[Image:Event handler dialogblocks.PNG|Event Tables in DialogBlocks]]

'''VisualWx Event Handler'''

Here VisualWx filters the events:
* Base wxWidgets Events
* Component Events
* Windows Events
* VisualWx Events
* Custom Events

[[Image:Event handler visualwx.PNG|Event Tables in VisualWx]]

==== {{note|Bitmaps}}Bitmap support ====

Bitmaps support means that you can import images into your project from a variety of formats and associate them with your static bitmap and bitmap button controls.

You can specify whether the bitmaps will converted into XPM format (the standard format for small bitmaps in wxWidgets) and whether the XPM image will be inserted as inline C++ code, or loaded from a file.

==== {{note|EnglishDesc}}English descriptions ====

English descriptions show a brief description of each element, to help you get used to sizers and also to make it easier to see at a glance the important aspects of your dialog element.

[[Image:Rad english descriptions.PNG|An example of DialogBlocks English descriptions]]

==== {{note|WindowPointers}}Easy access to window pointers ====

The ''easy access to window pointers'' concept means:

Give each window a variable name, and the RAD will add the name to the class declaration, and initialise it to the appropriate window in the implementation.

In XRC mode, the RAD can generate the code to find the window and assign it to the pointer variable.

==== {{note|TemplateControls}}Template controls ====

Template controls are sets of most common widgets together, like an Ok/Cancel pair buttons inside a sizer, being user-definable.

*{{note|XRCnotworks}} Currently, only one dialog resource per XRC file is imported.

=== Features explained ===

==== {{note|Validators}}Validators ====

The aim of the validator concept is to make dialogs very much easier to write. A validator is an object that can be plugged into a control (such as a wxTextCtrl), and mediates between C++ data and the control, transferring the data in either direction and validating it. It also is able to intercept events generated by the control, providing filtering behaviour without the need to derive a new control class.

How to use validators in a RAD that supports this concept: Just add a variable, select the variable and a validator, and the data transfer between variable and control is done for you.

==== {{note|ConditionalUI}}Conditional UI ====

It's the ability to adapt the user interface to the UI guidelines of different platform.

Just mark elements as for one platform (or several), and preview the look for any given platform.

[[Image:Conditional ui.PNG|Example of how it looks on DialogBlocks]]

==== {{note|EventTable}}Event table and handler generation ====

The RAD generates the event tables and empty handlers (including UI update handlers) so you can immediately concentrate on writing code to make the dialog come to life.

It includes a choice of event types for each window, with function name editing.

'''DialogBlocks Event Handler'''

Here DialogBlocks haves the list of event handlers.

The most noticeable feature here is that if you do a double-click on a event, you're transported to the function associated in the code. It's very handy.

[[Image:Event handler dialogblocks.PNG|Event Tables in DialogBlocks]]

'''VisualWx Event Handler'''

Here VisualWx filters the events:
* Base wxWidgets Events
* Component Events
* Windows Events
* VisualWx Events
* Custom Events

[[Image:Event handler visualwx.PNG|Event Tables in VisualWx]]

==== {{note|Bitmaps}}Bitmap support ====

Bitmaps support means that you can import images into your project from a variety of formats and associate them with your static bitmap and bitmap button controls.

You can specify whether the bitmaps will converted into XPM format (the standard format for small bitmaps in wxWidgets) and whether the XPM image will be inserted as inline C++ code, or loaded from a file.

==== {{note|EnglishDesc}}English descriptions ====

English descriptions show a brief description of each element, to help you get used to sizers and also to make it easier to see at a glance the important aspects of your dialog element.

[[Image:Rad english descriptions.PNG|An example of DialogBlocks English descriptions]]

==== {{note|WindowPointers}}Easy access to window pointers ====

The ''easy access to window pointers'' concept means:

Give each window a variable name, and the RAD will add the name to the class declaration, and initialise it to the appropriate window in the implementation.

In XRC mode, the RAD can generate the code to find the window and assign it to the pointer variable.

==== {{note|TemplateControls}}Template controls ====

Template controls are sets of most common widgets together, like an Ok/Cancel pair buttons inside a sizer, being user-definable.

Code::Blocks Plugins

2010-02-19T05:17:31Z

Cryogen: /* 3rd Party Plugins */

[[Category: User Documentation]]
== General ==

Code::Blocks' features can be extend by using '''plugins''', most of them listed on this page. There are generally three types of plugins:
# Core plugins - developed and maintained by the core C::B team.
# Contrib plugins - developed and maintained by the community and proven to be very valuable. So they are integrated into the C::B SVN.
# 3rd party plugins - developed and maintained by the community but not (yet?) in the C::B repository. Theses plugins often have their own repository or are being posted (including the source code) in the forums.

If you are looking for plugins:
# Look in the official release. Notice that the installer / package manager might require you to enable some of the plugins specifically. So READ carefully.
# Search the forums for announcements, especially the forums at [/index.php/board,14.0.html].
# There might be information on the WiKi concerning other plugins on this page and '''[[Announcement_for_plugins/patches|here]]'''.

If you are developing plugins:
Surely you can work with plugin as you like, but here are some suggestions:
* Announce them in the plugin development board in the forums - including the (initial) source code at [/index.php/board,14.0.html].

OR

* Setup your own webpage (or use a file sharing platform) and post the link to the sources/binaries/svn access in the plugin development board in the forums at [/index.php/board,14.0.html].

OR

* Setup a repository, probably at BerliOS or SourceForge, post the link to the sources/binaries/svn access in the plugin development board in the forums at [/index.php/board,14.0.html]. Notice: This is very convenient as attachments in our forum might be deleted from time to time. So it is not safe to post source code in the forums.

THEN

# Enter the plugins description on this page.
# Announce the pugin '''[[Announcement_for_plugins/patches|here]]''' using '''[[Template_for_plugin_announcement|this]]''' template.

== Core Plugins ==

The core plugins are installed by default and offer the basic functions of Code::Blocks. The core plugins are maintained / developed by the official development team.

'''[[Autosave plugin|Autosave]]'''

:Saves project files between intervals.

'''[[Class Wizard plugin|Class Wizard]]'''

:Provides wizard for creating new classes.

'''[[Code Completion plugin|Code Completion]]'''

:Provides code completion functionality and class browser.

'''[[Compiler plugin|Compiler]]'''

Announcement for plugins/patches

2010-02-19T05:08:45Z

Cryogen: Added DoxyBlocks.

=== HowTo announce a new plugin/patch or similar ===

''Please read carefully:''

This WiKi section is to announce:
* a new plugin that is '''not''' within the contrib folder of the SVN repository
* a patch that is '''not''' a bugfix or similar and/or will '''not''' be applied to the SVN repository (e.g. because it's very specific)
* a new lexer/template that is '''not''' completed or approved and/or will '''not''' be added to the SVN

If a plugin/patch/lexer/template is moved to the repository don't forget to remove it from here! This section is intended to '''collect''' the information about available plugins/patches/lexerers/templates in one place. So the announcement should be short and clear. It should (however) include at least the following content:
* Name of the plugin/patch/lexer/template and purpose 
* Version (state) and date of last update (or release in the first place) 
* Link to a thread (to be created) in the developers (plugin) forum for discussion of features, bugs, wishlist etc. 
* A link where the '''most up-to-date''' version can be downloaded (e.g. in the forum). 
The best way may be to copy the section from the '''template''' plugin/patch/lexer/template and update it with your information. This will ensure consistency in the best way! Read the article [[How to add another announcement]] to read how to change the WiKi accordingly.
