wxHatch: Purpose, Testing and
Limitations:
Purpose
wxHatch is intended as a gui
building block to put together basic wxWidgets applications, with
the ability to incorporate menus, dialogs, code samples and to
provide a rapid means to locate the related code..
Testing
The code has been built and tested
under the following compilers:
- Borland 5.4 and 5.5 compiler,
(MSW)
- mingw32 gcc 2.95.3 and gcc 3.2 (MSW)
- cygwin 2.93 3.x (MSW)
- Visual C 6 (MSW)
- Digital Mars v8.34 - 8.40
(MSW)
- Open Watcom 1.0 - 1.2
(MSW)
- gcc 2.95.3 and gcc 3.2 (Linux
& MSW)
- gcc 2.9X (Solaris)
Other platforms using the gcc
compilers may work but are untested. Patches are welcome -
plesase send them to biol75@york.ac.uk
Limitations:
The main limitations are
- wxHatch depends upon reading lines
of code, and will fail if a single statement is spread over more than
one line. Details of known problems with multiline code are given here
- In new applications, the code
generated is put in up to 4 files. Single code file sources,
including some of the wxWidgets samples can also be
read.
- The dialog editor supports more than
half, but not all of the wxWidgets controls
- This version is only intended to
generate SDI applications. MDI may come one day.
- Putting nested controls on the
window is not implemented
- Some parts of the code need
pruning to avoid repetition!
