Александр (sandy) Илюшенко любезно предоставил статью о том, как настроить класc wxGrid под свои нужды:

Захотелось мне как-то, чтобы в гриде были не номера строк, а маркер.
К тому же очень хотелось, чтобы незаполненное пространство грида было не белым, а, примерно, как на рисунке ниже.

Навеяно это было в основном аналогичными и другими классами, предоставляемыми MFC. Тут же и вспомнилось, что подобные классы также прдоставляют очень полезные методы для хранения дополнительных не отображаемых данных, такие как SetData() или GetData().

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data-interchange format. It is easy for humans to read and write. It is easy for machines to parse and generate. It is based on a subset of the JavaScript Programming Language, Standard ECMA-262 3rd Edition – December 1999. JSON is a text format that is completely language independent but uses conventions that are familiar to programmers of the C-family of languages, including C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, Perl, Python, and many others. These properties make JSON an ideal data-interchange language.

This is the first stable release of the wxJSON library. The major version had changed because I introduced some compatibility breaks with the old 0.x versions as well as some new features.

Several days ago I found How to draw gradient buttons post at Native Mobile blog. Looks nice but I think that using GradienFill() is not very convenient because you need to fill all these TRIVERTEX structures. wxWidgets provides more convenient way of drawing gradients by using wxDC::GradientFillLinear(). Here is how it can be done in wxWidgets:

In my previous posts here and here I showed how to create a simple application which uses Document/View framework. Now I’m going to show more complex example – image viewer with scrolling and selection rectangle. As far as I can see from wxForum, implementation of selection-related functionality is some kind of complex but very useful task.

So, let’s start from simple part. The simplest task here is modification of our wxDocument-related class.

This wxJSON release adds support for 64-bits integers on those platforms that have native support for it such as, for example, Windows and GNU/Linux.

You can disable 64-bits integer support if you do not need (or do not want) it. The new version is compatible wih the past: if you do not need 64-bits integers you can still use this new version of the library without the need to rewrite your application.
