wxStandardPaths externs?

[aartzrc]

I'm hoping to use a few calls to wxStandardPaths (https://docs.wxwidgets.org/3.0/classwx_standard_paths.html), but it looks like externs are missing. I am not familiar with hxWidgets + hxcpp and how to map externs through pointers/etc, but if someone can knock out the externs or give me some tips that would be very helpful. Thanks.

Sure, ill take a look - sounds like it might be useful.

I want to add wxProcess also.

Ok - so ive added support for wxStandardPaths and release a new haxelib version (1.2.0).

Im not sure how you are using hxWidgets, if you are using it "raw" (wx.), wrapped (hx.) or inside haxeui.

Either way, you can now do things like:

            trace("appDocumentsDir: " + app.traits.standardPaths.appDocumentsDir);
            trace("configDir: " + app.traits.standardPaths.configDir);
            trace("dataDir: " + app.traits.standardPaths.dataDir);
            trace("documentsDir: " + app.traits.standardPaths.documentsDir);
            trace("executablePath: " + app.traits.standardPaths.executablePath);
            trace("localDataDir: " + app.traits.standardPaths.localDataDir);
            trace("resourcesDir: " + app.traits.standardPaths.resourcesDir);
            trace("tempDir: " + app.traits.standardPaths.tempDir);
            trace("userConfigDir: " + app.traits.standardPaths.userConfigDir);
            trace("userDataDir: " + app.traits.standardPaths.userDataDir);
            trace("userLocalDataDir: " + app.traits.standardPaths.userLocalDataDir);

Let me know if that works for you and if this issue can be closed.

It works great in Haxe 3.4.7, thanks for knocking it out! Haxe 4+ has been giving me an odd error (even before this update):

Error: ClassInfo.cpp
./src/hx/widgets/ClassInfo.cpp(42): error C2228: left of '.ToUTF8' must have class/struct/union
./src/hx/widgets/ClassInfo.cpp(42): note: type is 'const wxChar *'

Probably a Haxe 4 hxcpp issue so I'll stick with 3.4.7 for now, unless you can spot the problem?

I'm using the wrapped (hx.widgets.*), they provide a clean interface into Haxe (thanks for the great externs!)

This can be closed.

Im using haxe4 and all seems to be fine - have you updated hxcpp also when you are using haxe 4?

Ill close this for now, but feel free to open another issue about the haxe 4 issue (easier to track in its own ticket anyway)

Cheers, Ian
