Hello,
First of all thanks for such a great quality library - keep up the great
work.
Thanks.
I have just started using wxlua in the GUI layer of my C++ app. I have been
using tolua++ to provide the bindings to classes in my data layer. I was
hoping to use some wx classes in my data layer e.g. wxString, but these
objects just appear as userdata in the lua runtime e.g. calling the
following function binded to by tolua++ returns userdata:
wxString getName();
wxLua uses only lua strings, to save space, easier calls to wxWidgets
functions, and whatnot. It would be very easy to wrap wxStrings
however, but there's a lot of functions and it might be too much
bloat. We use the two functions wx2lua and lua2wx, see the top of
modules/wxlua/include/wxlstate.h.
You can also just use wxLua's binding generator instead of tolua++.
It's really easy to create the interface files and run the generator.
Take a look at bindings/wxstc for an example of how to write the rules
file for a smaller semi-separate library. See also the docs about our
binding generator.
Is there anyway that tolua++ bindings and the wxlua can co-exist? Can I
recast this userdata to a wxString within the lua environment?
No, see above, we don't have any wxStrings and the conversion of the
userdata in lua might be tricky.
