Support wxWidgets 3 #172

Closed MicBosi closed 3 years ago

MicBosi commented 4 years ago

Support for wxWidgets 2.8 is now becoming obsolete. Would be nice to support 3.x as well. Contributions are welcome.

Hi Mic

Attached please find the vlWX Canvas zipped source files for wxWidgets 3.x.

Here is an example from our applications on how to use it:

...
#ifdef WXMSW_3.1

    wxGLAttributes glAttribs;
    wxGLContextAttrs contextAttribs;

    glAttribs.RGBA().Depth(24).DoubleBuffer().SampleBuffers(1).Samplers(8).EndList();

    if(use_OpenGL_Debug)
        contextAttribs.CompatibilityProfile().DebugCtx().EndList();
    else
        contextAttribs.CompatibilityProfile().OGLVersion(3,3).EndList();

    contextAttribs.SetNeedsARB(true);

//Create the canvas.
    mCanvas = new vlWX::WXGLCanvas(panGraphicsHost, NULL, wxID_ANY,
                                   panGraphicsHost->GetClientAreaOrigin(),
                                   panGraphicsHost->GetClientSize(),
                                   wxFULL_REPAINT_ON_RESIZE,
                                   &glAttribs, &contextAttribs);

#else // WXMSW < 3.1
...

where panGraphicsHost is a simple wxPanel hosting the VL canvas (the rendering surface).

We've been using VL + WX 3.x for quite a long while now and they work absolutely fine together. Hope that helps.

Regards, Virgiliu
