Is there any way to pop up a wxWidget dialog for selecting files in a command line procedure?
I am new to wxWidgets programming and it seems straightforward to pop up a selecting file dialog with FileDialog class in a wx app.
Here is my c++ code and it works fine within a wx app procedure but not in a command line one.
#include
//#include "wx/osx/filedlg.h"
#include "wx/wx.h"
#include
using namespace std;
//IMPLEMENT_APP(MyApp)
int main(int argc, const char * argv[])
{
wxFileDialog OpenDialog(NULL, wxEmptyString, wxEmptyString, wxEmptyString,
_("*"),
wxFD_MULTIPLE);
// Creates a "open file" dialog with 4 file types
if (OpenDialog.ShowModal() == wxID_OK) // if the user click "Open" instead of "cancel"
{
wxArrayString wx_str_arr;
OpenDialog.GetFilenames(wx_str_arr);
/*
for(size_t i=0; i<wx_str_arr.GetCount(); ++i)
{
wxString str = wx_str_arr.Item(i);
cout<<"str["<<i<<"] = "<<str.c_str().AsChar()<<endl;
}
*/
cout<<"count:"<<wx_str_arr.GetCount()<<endl;
}
return 0;
}
You must initialize wxWidgets correctly for this to work, see wxInitializer class for how to do it in console application.
Note that under Unix, including OS X, there is really absolutely no difference between console and GUI applications, this distinction only exists under Windows.

I would like to know the proper procedure for calling a .dll file with also having a .cpp and .h files for a certain application. I have a program which is the .cpp file with different .h header files and I also included the .dll file into the folder where the .cpp and .h files are located. I would like to know in the .cpp code how am I able to call upon this .dll file since inside of it there are different functions that will allow a DDC264 Evaluation Board to read data from memory through usb and extract the data. I am using a program called DevC++ and I am receiving a current Error which is [Id] returned 1 exit status and MakefileWin has changed.
Attached below is a snippit of the .cpp code:
I also would like to know how to fix both of these errors .enter image description hereenter image description here

I am not sure about how to go about calling a .dll file in C++, I am fairly new to Object Oriented programming.
Regarding the MakefileWin error I tried changing the TDM-GCC release version from 32 to 64 bits and the error continues.
I also tried deleting the dllmain.cpp which is another cpp file that is not needed and moving another original.cpp file from the folder that is shown in one of the images.
I only have a single .cpp file running on my DevC++ compiler which I thought would not cause the Error [Id] returned 1 to exit status to pop up.
I’m making a standalone ROOT application which should terminate upon closing a canvas. The following is my experimental code.
#include "TROOT.h"
#include "TApplication.h"
#include "TCanvas.h"
int main(){
TApplication *myapp=new TApplication("myapp",0,0);
TCanvas *c1 =new TCanvas("c1","Canvas Test",800,800);
c1->Connect("TCanvas", "Closed()", "TApplication",gApplication, "Terminate()");
myapp->Run();
return 0;
}
The code compiles without any warnings. The canvas opens when I run it. But when I close the the canvas, application doesn’t terminate and the terminal doesn’t prompt. Any suggestions ?
_ROOT Version: 6.20
_Platform: Ubuntu 20.04
_Compiler: g++
Thanks to #bellenot from root-forum for providing the following solution. Apparently, for ROOT 6 & above, This should be done with a TRootCanvas object.
#include "TROOT.h"
#include "TApplication.h"
#include "TCanvas.h"
#include "TRootCanvas.h"
int main()
{
TApplication *myapp = new TApplication("myapp", 0, 0);
TCanvas *c1 = new TCanvas("c1","Canvas Test",800,800);
TRootCanvas *rc = (TRootCanvas *)c1->GetCanvasImp();
rc->Connect("CloseWindow()", "TApplication", gApplication, "Terminate()");
myapp->Run();
return 0;

I am creating a QR code scanner program in C++ using the library called libdecodeqr.
I downloaded all the files from https://github.com/josephholsten/libdecodeqr and I modified one of the test programs. However, I keep getting the error "unresolved external symbol". It's because I have not linked the libraries.
But I can't find libdecodeqr.lib anywhere! It's not included in the GitHub package and it's nowhere online!
In the instructions on the GitHub page, it says to add decodeqr.h, qrtypes.h, qrerror.h and libdecodeqr.lib to my environment. Other than the .lib file, I have added all those files to my environment.
Where can I find libdecodeqr.lib?
Also, here is the sample program I modified and am testing:
#include <stdio.h>
#include "opencv2/core/core.hpp"
#include "opencv2/imgproc/imgproc.hpp"
#include "opencv2/highgui/highgui.hpp"
#include "C:/Users/Asish/Documents/libdecodeqr-master/libdecodeqr/decodeqr.h"
#include "C:/Users/Asish/Documents/libdecodeqr-master/libdecodeqr/qrerror.h"
#include "C:/Users/Asish/Documents/libdecodeqr-master/libdecodeqr/qrtypes.h"
#include "bitstream.h"
using namespace cv;
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
namedWindow("src", 1);
//
// load image
//
Mat src_old = imread("qrTest.png", 1);
IplImage* src = new IplImage(src_old);
imshow("src", src_old);
//
// show version info
//
printf("libdecodeqr version %s\n", qr_decoder_version());
//
// initialize
//
QrDecoderHandle decoder = qr_decoder_open();
//
// do decode using default parameter
//
short stat = qr_decoder_decode_image(decoder, src);
printf("STATUS=%04x\n", stat);
//
// get QR code header
//
QrCodeHeader header;
if (qr_decoder_get_header(decoder, &header)){
//
// get QR code text
// To null terminate, a buffer size is larger than body size.
//
char *buf = new char[header.byte_size + 1];
qr_decoder_get_body(decoder, (unsigned char *)buf, header.byte_size + 1);
printf("%s\n", buf);
}
//
// finalize
//
qr_decoder_close(decoder);
puts("");
puts("Hit any key to end.");
cvWaitKey(0);
destroyAllWindows();
cvReleaseImage(&src);
return(0);
}
You are downloading the source code from GitHub, which means that you also need to create a new VisualStudio C++ project to compile your own libdecodeqr.lib (or dll). This will require you also install OpenCV in your computer.
I'm trying to use QtXmlPatterns module in order to parse an XML file.
Unfortunately using Qt5.1 on MacOsX 10.7&10.8 I found a problem I have not with Qt4.8.5.
#include <QCoreApplication>
#include <QGuiApplication>
#include <QXmlQuery>
#include <QStringList>
#include <QDebug>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
//QGuiApplication a(argc, argv);
QCoreApplication a(argc, argv);
QXmlQuery qry;
qry.setQuery("doc(\"file.xml\")");
QStringList lst;
qry.evaluateTo(&lst);
qDebug() << lst;
return 0;
}
this is the .pro I'm using.
QT += core gui xmlpatterns
TARGET = Test
TEMPLATE = app
CONFIG -= app_bundle
SOURCES += main.cpp
If I run a QCoreApplication everything works properly, instead if I switch on QGuiApplication (or a QApplication) this small program hangs forever on the evaluteTo function. It doesn't matter if file.xml exists or not.
On Windows and on Linux the same program run smoothly even if I use the QCoreApplication or the QGuiApplication or the QApplication.
I tried also to play a little with the QXmlQuery functions. If I call the setFocus function I got the same behaviour (with QCoreApplication everything it's ok, with QGuiApplication it hangs for ever on the setFocus function).
Suggestions?
I have created a GUI using tcl. I want to make some of the core functionalities of the tcl code available to be used by any program which supports dll. For that i have taken a very simple tcl code example, which adds two integer numbers and i have written a c wrapper function to use this functionality. This is working for me. Now how can i create a dll for these two c and tcl files, so that any program can use this addition functionality by simply loading the dll.
Here is my simple tcl code :
/* Filename : simple_addition.tcl */
#!/usr/bin/env tclsh8.5
proc add_two_nos { } {
set a 10
set b 20
set c [expr { $a + $b } ]
puts " c is $c ......."
}
And here is my c wrapper function which uses the above tcl addition functionality :
#include <tcl.h>
#include <tclDecls.h>
#include <tclPlatDecls.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
int main (int argc, char **argv) {
Tcl_Interp *interp;
int code;
char *result;
printf("inside main function \n");
Tcl_FindExecutable(argv[0]);
interp = Tcl_CreateInterp();
code = Tcl_Eval(interp, "source simple_addition.tcl; add_two_nos");
/* Retrieve the result... */
result = Tcl_GetString(Tcl_GetObjResult(interp));
/* Check for error! If an error, message is result. */
if (code == TCL_ERROR) {
fprintf(stderr, "ERROR in script: %s\n", result);
exit(1);
}
/* Print (normal) result if non-empty; we'll skip handling encodings for now */
if (strlen(result)) {
printf("%s\n", result);
}
/* Clean up */
Tcl_DeleteInterp(interp);
exit(0);
}
This c wrapper is working fine for me and gives correct results.
Now I want to create a dll file, so that if i include that dll to any program that supports dll, it should be able to use this addition functionality of the above tcl code. Can anybody please tell me the way i can do it. Please help me. I am new to this dll concept.
In order to create the .dll you'll have to use something like Visual Studio and C or C++ to create the .dll (there are lots of other tools out there that can create .dll files but VS is easy to get hold of and to use.) So in VS create a new project, this needs to be a C++ WIN32 project. Select the DLL application type and the Export Symbols additional option.
VS will create a basic .dll that you can then amend to do what you want. I short I'd look at putting the creating/destruction of the intrepter into the dllmain:
BOOL APIENTRY DllMain( HMODULE hModule,
DWORD ul_reason_for_call,
LPVOID lpReserved
)
{
switch (ul_reason_for_call)
{
case DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH:
{
Tcl_FindExecutable(NULL);
interp = Tcl_CreateInterp();
}
case DLL_THREAD_ATTACH:
break ;
case DLL_THREAD_DETACH:
break ;
case DLL_PROCESS_DETACH:
{
Tcl_DeleteInterp(interp);
break;
}
}
return TRUE;
}
and then create functions exported by the .dll that make use of the interpreter. If you aren't familiar with the concept of shared libaries then I'd suggest spending a little time reading up on them, try here and here for some background reading.
