Sample Hello World Program
Create a new source file in your project, and copy the following code in there:
/*
* hworld.cpp
* Hello world sample by Robert Roebling
* Adapted for unicode by Max Berger
*/
#include "wx/wx.h"
class MyApp: public wxApp
{
virtual bool OnInit();
};
class MyFrame: public wxFrame
{
public:
MyFrame(const wxString& title,
const wxPoint& pos, const wxSize& size);
void OnQuit(wxCommandEvent& event);
void OnAbout(wxCommandEvent& event);
DECLARE_EVENT_TABLE()
};
enum
{
ID_Quit = 1,
ID_About,
};
BEGIN_EVENT_TABLE(MyFrame, wxFrame)
EVT_MENU(ID_Quit, MyFrame::OnQuit)
EVT_MENU(ID_About, MyFrame::OnAbout)
END_EVENT_TABLE()
IMPLEMENT_APP(MyApp)
bool MyApp::OnInit()
{
MyFrame *frame = new MyFrame( wxT("Hello World"),
wxPoint(50,50), wxSize(450,340) );
frame->Show(TRUE);
SetTopWindow(frame);
return TRUE;
}
MyFrame::MyFrame(const wxString& title,
const wxPoint& pos, const wxSize& size)
: wxFrame((wxFrame *)NULL, -1, title, pos, size)
{
wxMenu *menuFile = new wxMenu;
menuFile->Append( ID_About, wxT("&About...") );
menuFile->AppendSeparator();
menuFile->Append( ID_Quit, wxT("E&xit") );
wxMenuBar *menuBar = new wxMenuBar;
menuBar->Append( menuFile, wxT("&File") );
SetMenuBar( menuBar );
CreateStatusBar();
SetStatusText( wxT("Welcome to wxWindows!") );
}
void MyFrame::OnQuit(wxCommandEvent& WXUNUSED(event))
{
Close(TRUE);
}
void MyFrame::OnAbout(wxCommandEvent& WXUNUSED(event))
{
wxMessageBox(wxT("This is a wxWindows Hello world sample"),
wxT("About Hello World"), wxOK | wxICON_INFORMATION, this);
}
Then compile and run! If you've followed these instructions it should work!
