#define __WXFUNCTION__ |
This macro expands to the name of the current function if the compiler supports any of __FUNCTION__
, __func__
or equivalent variables or macros or to NULL if none of them is available.
Include file:
#include <wx/cpp.h>
#define wxCHECK_CXX_STD | ( | stdver | ) |
Returns true if the compiler being used supports the given C++ version.
The stdver parameter uses the same values as the standard __cplusplus
macro, i.e.
Using this macro also works with MSVC, even when /Zc
:__cplusplus option is not used, unlike checking for the value of __cplusplus
directly.
Include file:
#include <wx/defs.h>
#define wxCONCAT | ( | x1, | |
x2 | |||
) |
This macro returns the concatenation of the arguments passed.
Unlike when using the preprocessor operator, the arguments undergo macro expansion before being concatenated.
Include file:
#include <wx/cpp.h>
#define wxCONCAT3 | ( | x1, | |
x2, | |||
x3 | |||
) |
#define wxCONCAT4 | ( | x1, | |
x2, | |||
x3, | |||
x4 | |||
) |
#define wxCONCAT5 | ( | x1, | |
x2, | |||
x3, | |||
x4, | |||
x5 | |||
) |
#define wxDECLARE_NO_ASSIGN_CLASS | ( | classname | ) |
This macro can be used in a class declaration to disable the generation of default assignment operator.
Some classes have a well-defined copy constructor but cannot have an assignment operator, typically because they can't be modified once created. In such case, this macro can be used to disable the automatic assignment operator generation.
#define wxDECLARE_NO_ASSIGN_DEF_COPY | ( | classname | ) |
Macro disabling the generation of default assignment operator but generating a default copy constructor.
This macro can be useful for the classes that can't be copied after creation, but may be copy-constructed using the default compiler-generated copy constructor.
Note that using wxDECLARE_NO_ASSIGN_CLASS() for such macros results in -Wdeprecated-copy
warning from clang 13, while this macro avoids such warnings.
Default copy constructor is only generated when using C++11 or later, otherwise this macro is identical to wxDECLARE_NO_ASSIGN_CLASS().
#define wxDECLARE_NO_COPY_CLASS | ( | classname | ) |
This macro can be used in a class declaration to disable the generation of default copy ctor and assignment operator.
Some classes don't have a well-defined copying semantics. In this case the standard C++ convention is to not allow copying them. One way of achieving it is to use this macro which simply defines a private copy constructor and assignment operator.
Beware that simply not defining copy constructor and assignment operator is not enough as the compiler would provide its own automatically-generated versions of them – hence the usefulness of this macro.
Example of use:
Notice that a semicolon must be used after this macro and that it changes the access specifier to private internally so it is better to use it at the end of the class declaration.
#define wxDECLARE_NO_COPY_TEMPLATE_CLASS | ( | classname, | |
arg | |||
) |
Analog of wxDECLARE_NO_COPY_CLASS() for template classes.
This macro can be used for template classes (with a single template parameter) for the same purpose as wxDECLARE_NO_COPY_CLASS() is used with the non-template classes.
classname | The name of the template class. |
arg | The name of the template parameter. |
#define wxDECLARE_NO_COPY_TEMPLATE_CLASS_2 | ( | classname, | |
arg1, | |||
arg2 | |||
) |
Analog of wxDECLARE_NO_COPY_TEMPLATE_CLASS() for templates with 2 parameters.
This macro can be used for template classes with two template parameters for the same purpose as wxDECLARE_NO_COPY_CLASS() is used with the non-template classes.
classname | The name of the template class. |
arg1 | The name of the first template parameter. |
arg2 | The name of the second template parameter. |
#define wxDEPRECATED | ( | function | ) |
This macro can be used around a function declaration to generate warnings indicating that this function is deprecated (i.e.
obsolete and planned to be removed in the future) when it is used.
Notice that this macro itself is deprecated in favour of wxDEPRECATED_MSG()!
Only Visual C++ 7 and higher and g++ compilers currently support this functionality.
Example of use:
Include file:
#include <wx/defs.h>
#define wxDEPRECATED_ACCESSOR | ( | func, | |
what | |||
) |
A helper macro allowing to easily define a simple deprecated accessor.
Compared to wxDEPRECATED_INLINE() it saves a return
statement and, especially, a strangely looking semicolon inside a macro.
Example of use
#define wxDEPRECATED_ATTR | ( | msg | ) | [[deprecated(msg)]] |
Expands to the standard C++14 [[deprecated]] attribute if supported.
If not supported by the compiler, expands to nothing. If support for such compilers is important, use wxDEPRECATED_MSG() which is almost universally available.
#define wxDEPRECATED_BUT_USED_INTERNALLY | ( | function | ) |
This is a special version of wxDEPRECATED() macro which only does something when the deprecated function is used from the code outside wxWidgets itself but doesn't generate warnings when it is used from wxWidgets.
It is used with the virtual functions which are called by the library itself – even if such function is deprecated the library still has to call it to ensure that the existing code overriding it continues to work, but the use of this macro ensures that a deprecation warning will be generated if this function is used from the user code or, in case of Visual C++, even when it is simply overridden.
Include file:
#include <wx/defs.h>
#define wxDEPRECATED_BUT_USED_INTERNALLY_INLINE | ( | func, | |
body | |||
) |
Combination of wxDEPRECATED_BUT_USED_INTERNALLY() and wxDEPRECATED_INLINE().
This macro should be used for deprecated functions called by the library itself (usually for backwards compatibility reasons) and which are defined inline.
Include file:
#include <wx/defs.h>
#define wxDEPRECATED_INLINE | ( | func, | |
body | |||
) |
This macro is similar to wxDEPRECATED() but can be used to not only declare the function function as deprecated but to also provide its (inline) implementation body.
It can be used as following:
Include file:
#include <wx/defs.h>
#define wxDEPRECATED_MSG | ( | msg | ) |
Generate deprecation warning with the given message when a function is used.
This macro can be used to generate a warning indicating that a function is deprecated (i.e. scheduled for removal in the future) and explaining why is it so and/or what should it be replaced with. It applies to the declaration following it, for example:
For compilers other than clang, g++ 4.5 or later and MSVC 8 (MSVS 2005) or later, the message is ignored and a generic deprecation warning is given if possible, i.e. if the compiler is g++ (any supported version) or MSVC 7 (MSVS 2003) or later.
Include file:
#include <wx/defs.h>
#define wxDYNLIB_FUNCTION | ( | type, | |
name, | |||
dynlib | |||
) |
When loading a function from a DLL you always have to cast the returned void *
pointer to the correct type and, even more annoyingly, you have to repeat this type twice if you want to declare and define a function pointer all in one line.
This macro makes this slightly less painful by allowing you to specify the type only once, as the first parameter, and creating a variable of this type named after the function but with pfn
prefix and initialized with the function name from the wxDynamicLibrary dynlib.
type | The type of the function. |
name | The name of the function to load, not a string (without quotes, it is quoted automatically by the macro). |
dynlib | The library to load the function from. |
Include file:
#include <wx/dynlib.h>
#define wxLongLongFmtSpec |
This macro is defined to contain the printf()
format specifier using which 64 bit integer numbers (i.e.
those of type wxLongLong_t
) can be printed. Example of using it:
Include file:
#include <wx/longlong.h>
#define wxON_BLOCK_EXIT | ( | function, | |
... | |||
) |
Ensure that the global function with a few (up to some implementation-defined limit) is executed on scope exit, whether due to a normal function return or because an exception has been thrown.
A typical example of its usage:
Please see the original article by Andrei Alexandrescu and Petru Marginean published in December 2000 issue of C/C++ Users Journal for more details.
Include file:
#include <wx/scopeguard.h>
#define wxON_BLOCK_EXIT0 | ( | function | ) |
#define wxON_BLOCK_EXIT1 | ( | function, | |
p1 | |||
) |
#define wxON_BLOCK_EXIT2 | ( | function, | |
p1, | |||
p2 | |||
) |
#define wxON_BLOCK_EXIT3 | ( | function, | |
p1, | |||
p2, | |||
p3 | |||
) |
#define wxON_BLOCK_EXIT_NULL | ( | ptr | ) |
This macro sets the pointer passed to it as argument to NULL on scope exit.
It must be used instead of wxON_BLOCK_EXIT_SET() when the value being set is NULL
.
Include file:
#include <wx/scopeguard.h>
#define wxON_BLOCK_EXIT_OBJ | ( | object, | |
method, | |||
... | |||
) |
This family of macros is similar to wxON_BLOCK_EXIT(), but calls a method of the given object instead of a free function.
Include file:
#include <wx/scopeguard.h>
#define wxON_BLOCK_EXIT_OBJ0 | ( | object, | |
method | |||
) |
#define wxON_BLOCK_EXIT_OBJ1 | ( | object, | |
method, | |||
p1 | |||
) |
#define wxON_BLOCK_EXIT_OBJ2 | ( | object, | |
method, | |||
p1, | |||
p2 | |||
) |
#define wxON_BLOCK_EXIT_OBJ3 | ( | object, | |
method, | |||
p1, | |||
p2, | |||
p3 | |||
) |
#define wxON_BLOCK_EXIT_SET | ( | var, | |
value | |||
) |
This macro sets a variable to the specified value on scope exit.
Example of usage:
Notice that value is copied, i.e. stored by value, so it can be a temporary object returned by a function call, for example.
Include file:
#include <wx/scopeguard.h>
#define wxON_BLOCK_EXIT_THIS | ( | method, | |
... | |||
) |
This family of macros is similar to wxON_BLOCK_OBJ(), but calls a method of this
object instead of a method of the specified object.
Include file:
#include <wx/scopeguard.h>
#define wxON_BLOCK_EXIT_THIS0 | ( | method | ) |
#define wxON_BLOCK_EXIT_THIS1 | ( | method, | |
p1 | |||
) |
#define wxON_BLOCK_EXIT_THIS2 | ( | method, | |
p1, | |||
p2 | |||
) |
#define wxON_BLOCK_EXIT_THIS3 | ( | method, | |
p1, | |||
p2, | |||
p3 | |||
) |
#define wxOVERRIDE |
wxOVERRIDE
expands to the C++11 override
keyword if it's supported by the compiler or nothing otherwise.
This macro is useful for writing code which may be compiled by both C++11 and non-C++11 compilers and still allow the use of override
for the former.
Example of using this macro:
Include file:
#include <wx/defs.h>
#define wxSTRINGIZE | ( | x | ) |
Returns the string representation of the given symbol which can be either a literal or a macro (hence the advantage of using this macro instead of the standard preprocessor #
operator which doesn't work with macros).
Notice that this macro always produces a char
string, use wxSTRINGIZE_T() to build a wide string Unicode build.
Include file:
#include <wx/cpp.h>
#define wxSTRINGIZE_T | ( | x | ) |
Returns the string representation of the given symbol as either an ASCII or Unicode string, depending on the current build.
This is the Unicode-friendly equivalent of wxSTRINGIZE().
Include file:
#include <wx/cpp.h>
#define wxSUPPRESS_GCC_PRIVATE_DTOR_WARNING | ( | name | ) |
GNU C++ compiler gives a warning for any class whose destructor is private unless it has a friend.
This warning may sometimes be useful but it doesn't make sense for reference counted class which always delete themselves (hence destructor should be private) but don't necessarily have any friends, so this macro is provided to disable the warning in such case. The name parameter should be the name of the class but is only used to construct a unique friend class name internally.
Example of using the macro:
Notice that there should be no semicolon after this macro.
Include file:
#include <wx/defs.h>
typedef int(* wxSortCallback) (const void *pItem1, const void *pItem2, const void *user_data) |
anonymous enum |
flags for wxStripMenuCodes
Enumerator | |
---|---|
wxStrip_Mnemonics | Strip '&' characters. This flag removes all the ampersands before another character and replaces double ampersands with a single one. |
wxStrip_Accel | Strip everything after '\t'. This flags removes everything following the last TAB character in the string, if any. |
wxStrip_CJKMnemonics | Strip everything looking like CJK mnemonic. CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) translations sometimes preserve the original English accelerator or mnemonic in the translated string by putting it after the translated string in parentheses, e.g. the string "&File" could be translated as "<translation-of-word-file> (&F)". This flag strips trailing "(&X)" from the string.
|
wxStrip_All | Strip both mnemonics and accelerators. This is the value used by wxStripMenuCodes() by default. Note that, despite the name, this flag does not strip all, as it doesn't include wxStrip_CJKMnemonics for compatibility. |
wxStrip_Menu | Strip everything from menu item labels. This flag is used by wxWidgets internally and removes CJK mnemonics from the labels too, in addition to the usual mnemonics and accelerators. It is only suitable for use with the menu items. |
enum wxBase64DecodeMode |
Elements of this enum specify the possible behaviours of wxBase64Decode when an invalid character is encountered.
wxTextOutputStream& endl | ( | wxTextOutputStream & | stream | ) |
Writes '\n'
to stream.
Include file:
#include <wx/textstrm.h>
wxMemoryBuffer wxBase64Decode | ( | const char * | src, |
size_t | srcLen = wxNO_LEN , |
||
wxBase64DecodeMode | mode = wxBase64DecodeMode_Strict , |
||
size_t * | posErr = NULL |
||

Decode a Base64-encoded string and return decoded contents in a buffer.
See the wxBase64Decode(void*,size_t,const char*,size_t,wxBase64DecodeMode,size_t*) overload for more information about the parameters of this function. The difference of this overload is that it allocates a buffer of necessary size on its own and returns it, freeing you from the need to do it manually. Because of this, it is simpler to use and is recommended for normal use.
Include file:
#include <wx/base64.h>
wxMemoryBuffer wxBase64Decode | ( | const wxString & | src, |
wxBase64DecodeMode | mode = wxBase64DecodeMode_Strict , |
||
size_t * | posErr = NULL |
||
) |
Decode a Base64-encoded wxString and return decoded contents in a buffer.
See the wxBase64Decode(void*,size_t,const char*,size_t,wxBase64DecodeMode,size_t*) overload for more information about the parameters of this function.
This overload takes as input a wxString and returns the internally-allocated memory as a wxMemoryBuffer, containing the Base64-decoded data.
Include file:
#include <wx/base64.h>
size_t wxBase64Decode | ( | void * | dst, |
size_t | dstLen, | ||
const char * | src, | ||
size_t | srcLen = wxNO_LEN , |
||
wxBase64DecodeMode | mode = wxBase64DecodeMode_Strict , |
||
size_t * | posErr = NULL |
||
) |
This function decodes a Base64-encoded string.
This overload is a raw decoding function and decodes the data into the provided buffer dst of the given size dstLen. An error is returned if the buffer is not large enough – that is not at least wxBase64DecodedSize(srcLen) bytes. Notice that the buffer will not be NULL-terminated.
This overload returns the number of bytes written to the buffer or the necessary buffer size if dst was NULL or wxCONV_FAILED
on error, e.g. if the output buffer is too small or invalid characters were encountered in the input string.
dst | Pointer to output buffer, may be NULL to just compute the necessary buffer size. |
dstLen | The size of the output buffer, ignored if dst is NULL. |
src | The input string, must not be NULL. For the version using wxString, the input string should contain only ASCII characters. |
srcLen | The length of the input string or special value wxNO_LEN if the string is NULL-terminated and the length should be computed by this function itself. |
mode | This parameter specifies the function behaviour when invalid characters are encountered in input. By default, any such character stops the decoding with error. If the mode is wxBase64DecodeMode_SkipWS, then the white space characters are silently skipped instead. And if it is wxBase64DecodeMode_Relaxed, then all invalid characters are skipped. |
posErr | If this pointer is non-NULL and an error occurs during decoding, it is filled with the index of the invalid character. |
Include file:
#include <wx/base64.h>

) |
Decode a Base64-encoded wxString.
See the wxBase64Decode(void*,size_t,const char*,size_t,wxBase64DecodeMode,size_t*) overload for more information about the parameters of this function, the only difference between it and this one is that a wxString is used instead of a char*
pointer and its length.
Include file:
#include <wx/base64.h>
size_t wxBase64DecodedSize | ( | size_t | srcLen | ) |
Returns the size of the buffer necessary to contain the data encoded in a base64 string of length srcLen.

size_t | dstLen, | ||
const void * | src, | ||
size_t | srcLen | ||
) |
This function encodes the given data using base64.
To allocate the buffer of the correct size, use wxBase64EncodedSize() or call this function with dst set to NULL – it will then return the necessary buffer size.
This raw encoding function overload writes the output string into the provided buffer; the other overloads return it as a wxString.
dst | The output buffer, may be NULL to retrieve the needed buffer size. |
dstLen | The output buffer size, ignored if dst is NULL. |
src | The input buffer, must not be NULL. |
srcLen | The length of the input data. |

size_t * | outLen, | ||
const wxString & | resourceName, | ||
const wxChar * | resourceType = "TEXT" , |
||
WXHINSTANCE | module = 0 |
||
) |
Loads an object from Windows resource file.
This function loads the resource with the given name and type from the resources embedded into a Windows application.
The typical use for it is to load some data from the data files embedded into the program itself. For example, you could have the following fragment in your .rc file
and then use it in the following way:
outData | Filled with the pointer to the data on successful return. Notice that this pointer does not need to be freed by the caller. |
outLen | Filled with the length of the data in bytes. |
resourceName | The name of the resource to load. |
resourceType | The type of the resource in usual Windows format, i.e. either a real string like "MYDATA" or an integer created by the standard Windows MAKEINTRESOURCE() macro, including any constants for the standard resources types like RT_RCDATA . |
module | The HINSTANCE of the module to load the resources from. The current module is used by default. |
This function is available under Windows only.

const wxChar * | resourceType = "TEXT" , |
||
int * | pLen = NULL , |
||
WXHINSTANCE | module = 0 |
||
) |
Loads a user-defined Windows resource as a string.
This is a wrapper for the general purpose overload wxLoadUserResource(const void**, size_t*, const wxString&, const wxChar*, WXHINSTANCE) and can be more convenient for the string data, but does an extra copy compared to the general version.
resourceName | The name of the resource to load. |
resourceType | The type of the resource in usual Windows format, i.e. either a real string like "MYDATA" or an integer created by the standard Windows MAKEINTRESOURCE() macro, including any constants for the standard resources types like RT_RCDATA . |
pLen | Filled with the length of the returned buffer if it is non-NULL. This parameter should be used if NUL characters can occur in the resource data. It is new since wxWidgets 2.9.1 |
module | The HINSTANCE of the module to load the resources from. The current module is used by default. This parameter is new since wxWidgets 2.9.1. |

#include <wx/utils.h>
wxScopeGuard wxMakeGuard | ( | F | func, |
P1 | p1, | ||
..., | |||
PN | pN | ||
) |
Returns a scope guard object which will call the specified function with the given parameters on scope exit.
This function is overloaded to take several parameters up to some implementation-defined (but relatively low) limit.
The func should be a functor taking parameters of the types P1, ..., PN, i.e. the expression func(p1, ..., pN)
should be valid.
wxWindowID wxNewId | ( | ) |
wxID_ANY
to assign ids which are guaranteed to not conflict with the user-defined ids for the controls and menu items you create instead of using this function.Generates an integer identifier unique to this run of the program.
Include file:
#include <wx/utils.h>
void wxPostDelete | ( | wxObject * | object | ) |
See the window deletion overview.
Tells the system to delete the specified object when all other events have been processed. In some environments, it is necessary to use this instead of deleting a frame directly with the delete operator, because some GUIs will still send events to a deleted window.
Include file:
#include <wx/utils.h>
void wxQsort | ( | void * | pbase, |
size_t | total_elems, | ||
size_t | size, | ||
wxSortCallback | cmp, | ||
const void * | user_data | ||
) |
Function implementing quick sort algorithm.
This function sorts total_elems objects of size size located at pbase. It uses cmp function for comparing them and passes user_data pointer to the comparison function each time it's called.
Include file:
#include <wx/utils.h>
void wxRegisterId | ( | wxWindowID | id | ) |
Ensures that Ids subsequently generated by wxNewId() do not clash with the given id.

p | Pointer to the memory block to be zeroed, must be non-NULL. |
n | The number of bytes to zero. |
NOTE: If security is vitally important in your use case, please have a look at the implementations and decide whether you trust them to behave as promised.
Include file:
#include <wx/utils.h>
void wxSetDisplayName | ( | const wxString & | displayName | ) |
Under X only, sets the current display name.
This is the X host and display name such as "colonsay:0.0", and the function indicates which display should be used for creating windows from this point on. Setting the display within an application allows multiple displays to be used.
Include file:
#include <wx/utils.h>
wxString wxStripMenuCodes | ( | const wxString & | str, |
int | flags = wxStrip_All |
||
) |
Strips any menu codes from str and returns the result.
By default, the functions strips both the mnemonics character ('&'
) which is used to indicate a keyboard shortkey, and the accelerators, which are used only in the menu items and are separated from the main text by the \t
(TAB) character. By using flags of wxStrip_Mnemonics
or wxStrip_Accel
to strip only the former or the latter part, respectively.
Notice that in most cases wxMenuItem::GetLabelFromText() or wxControl::GetLabelText() can be used instead.
Include file:
#include <wx/utils.h>
void wxSwap | ( | T & | first, |
T & | second | ||
) |
Swaps the contents of two variables.
This is similar to std::swap() but can be used even on the platforms where the standard C++ library is not available (if you don't target such platforms, please use std::swap() instead).
The function relies on type T being copy constructible and assignable.
Example of use:
wxLongLong_t wxULL | ( | number | ) |
This macro is defined for the platforms with a native 64 bit integer type and allow the use of 64 bit compile time constants:
Include file:
#include <wx/longlong.h>
void wxVaCopy | ( | va_list | argptrDst, |
va_list | argptrSrc | ||
) |
This macro is the same as the standard C99 va_copy
for the compilers which support it or its replacement for those that don't.
It must be used to preserve the value of a va_list
object if you need to use it after passing it to another function because it can be modified by the latter.
As with va_start
, each call to wxVaCopy
must have a matching va_end
.
Include file:
