Re: Mac & "invalid context"

 

Just to clarify this (as I read through some more sources):
Both DCs refer to the same top-level window, but to different containers (panels) within this window. Device Contexts on Mac are associated with the top-level window. Thus, the DC's are the same.

I don't know how this is implemented on other platforms, i.e. what is the definition of "window" wrt. wxDC contexts.

Are we allowed to use a wxClientDC initialized for one panel to draw into another panel of these belong to the same window, alternatively, could we initialize a wxClientDC for the top-level container and use this to draw into all panels?

Marius,


Have you taken my advice and contacted the wxWidgets group? It looks like wxWidgets for Mac has some holes that need to be plugged. I am not feeling comfortable with the idea of getting a flood of 50 to 100 #ifdef wxMAC s coming into the code.


Talk to them please. And remember, pigs don't fly. Please recognize a pig when you see one.
