This table is then queried by a Lua-C++ interpreter. You have a lot of options, but if I understand correctly the GUI will be in C++. I would create a wxLuaState in C++ and call wxLuaState::LuaDoFile(...) on your config files. You could use wxLuaState::RegisterFunction(...) to add your C/C++ "myAddFunction" as a function for Lua that will add the items appropriately. > Now, I have attached an image that is a screenshot from lua.org that depicts > a similar project (to give you perspective).

The control shown in the image is a wxListCtrl and there's some sample code for it below. This code may be a little complicated since it has to sync a wxTreeCtrl with the wxListCtrl. http://wxlua.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/wxlua/wxLua/modules/wxluadebug/src/wxlstack.cpp?view=markup You could even turn it around and write all the adding code in Lua itself and all you need to do is push your wxListCtrl into Lua using code like this, search for "wxLua_wxListCtrl_constructor1" and see the bottom where it calls wxluaW_addtrackedwindow() and wxluaT_pushuserdatatype() so that it's on the stack. http://wxlua.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/wxlua/wxLua/modules/wxbind/src/wxcore_controls.cpp?view=markup I hope this gives you some ideas, John Labenski ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sell apps to millions through the Intel(R) Atom(Tm) Developer Program Be part of this innovative community and reach millions of netbook users worldwide.
