[OT] Graphic editor within an MFC app. I have a wxPython prototype, that...

[Philippe C. Martin]

Does that mean you are using C++/C# and not Python ?

I also guess you do not wish MFC and wxWindows to coexist in the same .exe
as the reasons for conflict are many (GDI port, main event loop .....)

Then do you simply wish to "map" your wxindows calls to equivalent MFC calls
with some kind of stub/glue?

I have built a wxPython prototype of an app, that lets me place rectangles
o a wxPanel, move them and change their size. How the rects are added
and placed has to follow certain rules.

The final goal is to merge this "graphical editor" into a MFC app.
Converting a standalone wxPython app into a wxWidget app ist not that
complicated.

But how about merging it into a MFC app? Has anybody achieved that already?

All the functionality lies in my wxPanel-subclass "EditorWidget" and in
the few widgets I can place on it. So it boils down to place that
"EditorWidget" an a MFC-Panel. But what about the mainloops?

If that's not possibel at all, I'd consider getting an ActiveX that offers
to me what I need. It does not need to be a full blown CAD ActiveX but
should be customizeable. Does anyone know a source for such things?

Many thanks in advance and kind regards
