Examples

The following example shows a simple implementation that utilizes wxAuiManager to manage three text controls in a frame window:

 class MyFrame : public wxFrame {
 public:
   MyFrame(wxWindow* parent) : wxFrame(parent, -1, _("wxAUI Test"),
                      wxDefaultPosition, wxSize(800,600),
                      wxDEFAULT_FRAME_STYLE)                              
   {
     // notify wxAUI which frame to use
     m_mgr.SetManagedWindow(this);
 
     // create several text controls
     wxTextCtrl* text1 = new wxTextCtrl(this, -1, _("Pane 1 - sample text"),
                      wxDefaultPosition, wxSize(200,150),
                      wxNO_BORDER | wxTE_MULTILINE);
                                        
     wxTextCtrl* text2 = new wxTextCtrl(this, -1, _("Pane 2 - sample text"),
                      wxDefaultPosition, wxSize(200,150),
                      wxNO_BORDER | wxTE_MULTILINE);
                                        
     wxTextCtrl* text3 = new wxTextCtrl(this, -1, _("Main content window"),
                      wxDefaultPosition, wxSize(200,150),
                      wxNO_BORDER | wxTE_MULTILINE);
         
     // add the panes to the manager
     m_mgr.AddPane(text1, wxLEFT, wxT("Pane Number One"));
     m_mgr.AddPane(text2, wxBOTTOM, wxT("Pane Number Two"));
     m_mgr.AddPane(text3, wxCENTER);
                               
     // tell the manager to "commit" all the changes just made
     m_mgr.Update();
   }
 
   ~MyFrame()
   {
     // deinitialize the frame manager
     m_mgr.UnInit();
   }
 
 private:
     wxAuiManager m_mgr;
 };
 
  // our normal wxApp-derived class, as usual
 class MyApp : public wxApp {
 public:
 
   bool OnInit()
   {
     wxFrame* frame = new MyFrame(NULL);
     SetTopWindow(frame);
     frame->Show();
     return true;                    
   }
 };
 
 DECLARE_APP(MyApp);
 IMPLEMENT_APP(MyApp);
