wxXmlResource

wxWidgets Documentation for wxXmlResource

wxXmlResource is the class used to load XML-based resource files.

The XML-based resource system, known as XRC, allows user interface elements such as dialogs, menu bars and toolbars, to be stored in text files and loaded into the application at run-time. XRC files can also be zipped into binary XRS files.

Once an XRC file is loaded, call either xrc_load_dialog or xrc_load_frame. This will load the form and all controls. Call xrc_get_control to create references to any controls execpt menus and tool bars.

For menus, use get_menu_bar to reference the menu bar and get_menu_by_label to reference a menu, find_menuitem_by_position to reference a menuitem, and either find_menuitem_id or or find_menuitem_by_position to retrieve a menuitem id. One of the issues with using menus is that IDs are not saved in the XRC file (even though some tools may lead you to think otherwise).
