Not receiving events

Post by cenix »

I want to subscribe to receive (the same) events as the BuildTab does for a NextBuildError.

Therefore I have made a class similar to the BuildTab (including de EVENT_TABLE and DECLARE_EVENT_TABLE).
I also call my class from Frame::OnNextBuildError(wxCommandEvent &event), yet I do not receive them.
Below is the code:

Header
========================

Code: Select all

class ErrorsTab : public OutputTabWindow {
{
...
public:
	DECLARE_EVENT_TABLE()
};
Implementation
========================

Code: Select all

#include "editor_config.h"
#include "precompiled_header.h"
#include "frame.h"
#include "wx/regex.h"
#include "buildtabsettingsdata.h"
#include "regex_processor.h"
#include "macros.h"
#include "wx/xrc/xmlres.h"
#include "build_settings_config.h"
#include "compiler.h"
#include "manager.h"
#include "project.h"
#include "wx/wxscintilla.h"
#include "errorstab.h"

#ifndef wxScintillaEventHandler
#define wxScintillaEventHandler(func) \
	(wxObjectEventFunction)(wxEventFunction)wxStaticCastEvent(wxScintillaEventFunction, &func)
#endif

BEGIN_EVENT_TABLE(ErrorsTab, wxPanel)
	EVT_MENU(XRCID("next_error"), ErrorsTab::OnNextBuildError)
END_EVENT_TABLE()

rrorsTab::ErrorsTab(wxWindow *parent, wxWindowID id, const wxString &name)
		: OutputTabWindow(parent, id, name)
{
}

void ErrorsTab::OnNextBuildError(wxCommandEvent &event)
{
	wxUnusedVar(event);

	// do something
}
Implementation (Frame.cpp)
========================

Code: Select all

void Frame::OnNextBuildError(wxCommandEvent &event)
{
	GetOutputPane()->GetBuildTab()->ProcessEvent(event);
	GetOutputPane()->GetErrorsTab()->ProcessEvent(event);
}

2 things to try:

1) Try adding inside 'void BuildTab::OnNextBuildError(wxCommandEvent &event)' a call to event.Skip() replacing the wxUnusedVar(event);
2) What happen if you change the order? Is your handler get called?

When I change order I get exactly the same results. That I tried yesterday evening after posting this message.

As for 1. When I get back home and am able to do some coding, I'll try setting the event.Skip().

Doing an event.Skip() makes CL running for crazy (an endless loop?)

However, it seems that it does receive events, since the OnNextBuildError does update the highlighted line, but a breakpoint in that method never fires.
I was debugging some stuff, but it's rather difficult to debug now.
[Edit]Ahh. wait, I was running a release version.. Trying to build debug now[/Edit]

Ohwell, seems other solutions need to be found.


Just out of curiosity: is there anything similar to OutputDebugString for Linux?

Can I ask what are you trying to achieve?

I'm trying to develop a errors/warnings dialog similar to that in MSVC.
In some projects, you do something wrong and get a load of errors/warnings.

It can be little hard to see them all in a glance. So I think it will improve error finding (next to the Next Build Error option of course).

This is because it's a command event. If you Skip() it in BuildTab, it propagates back up to Frame, which then passes it back to BuildTab. It might be better to Connect() the tabs (BuildTab and ErrorsTab) to wxTheApp to handle the "next_error" command. Then you can (and should) call Skip() in each tab's event handler.

Hi,
Another alternative would be to use wxWindow::PushEventHandler to push ErrorsTab onto BuildTab. This will mean that the ErrorsTab instance receives the event and processes it. If it calls Skip(), the event will then be handled as normal by BuildTab. There wouldn't be any risk of recursion.

If you do this, you should remove the line GetOutputPane()->GetErrorsTab()->ProcessEvent(event); in Frame::OnNextBuildError.

Regards,

David

I have it working now. Not exactly sure what the differences are, but I guess a compile error or something.
After I was able to successfully build and run a debug build, I saw the events coming in. Release build is now also working OK.

While building in debug, I had a number of compile time errors, that I did not have in release-mode builds. After resolving those errors all was fine.

Thanks for the help.
