wxCrafter docvieww/mdi support

Post by stockfish »

Does the free version of wxCrafter truly support the wxDoc* frames for docview/mdi feature set? I recently downloaded the stand alone version of the app but the doc* frames seem "non-existent" on the forms pallette....

I could be wrong though......

You should create a normal Frame, after created, you simply change its type from the properties view (on the right side)

Hello,

Can one combine doc/view model with wxAUI management just using wxCrafter ? I mean wxCrafter features both doc/view and wxAui management controls but does these features "tailor seamlessly" together via wxCrafter only or such "tailoring" (if feasible) requires manual code modification of crafter-generated code ?

I'm delving into modern GUI design topic and both wxAui management and doc/view model seem to suit such GUI design requirements. Both wxAui and doc/view are well covered separately (for example aui and docview demos in wxwidgets source code) but so far I haven't found any coverage for wxAui + doc/view combo.

I have found this very nice guide to wxWidgets' doc/view framework and it uses wxAuiManager, so it looks like mentioned "tailoring" is feasible. But the tutorial uses SDI interface and definitely I'll need MDI interface.

I'm wondering:
1. if I'm referring to proper means for my purpose - I want to get convenient and readible GUI with dockable/arrangable windows (that's wxAui) + some automation and layered code offered by doc/view model
2. if it's possible to fit wxAui and doc/view model together and if yes
3. if it's possible to "tailor" the two with wxCrafter

Are there any additional materials or demos to cover that topic ? So far I have mentioned wxWidgets samples, the guide and J. Smart et al "Cross-Platform GUI Programming" chapter 19.
