code::blocks wxWidgets Changing the font of a wxStaticBoxSizer

Question

I know that our questions put on evidence our knowledge, so be gentle please :). This is one of mine in C++. Well, here we go.

I'm trying to change from codeblocks the font of a StaticBoxSizer. I can change the font of the wxStaticBox in the properties section but I'm having a hard time finding a way to access the same thing for the wxStaticBoxSizer FROM wxSmith in codeBlocks.

I tried without success to acces the staticBox within the sizer. What's worst, i dont know how to access any of the wxSmith's elements from the code editor.

All hints are welcomed and thank you in advance.

Edit: I know for sure that there's nothing wrong with the IDE but here's the header and here the cpp .

I noticed that the sizers are not declared in the headers but in the constructor's implementation of the dialog. I try to access the sizer in the constructor but to no avail.

The links works to me but here are the contents of the files directly. I simplified the code to include the minimum of elements.

header:

Answer 1

I solved my problem ! ! This is what did.

1 - I noticed that the sizer was not included in the header so I looked for the ways to include it from wxSmith. The magic came from the "isMember" checkBox in the properties table. It seems that this is the way of including it to the header and then accessing it.

2 - I created a member function at the end of the constructor:

void IbDialogue::setFonts();

3 - In the function implementation, I accessed the wxStaticBox of the wxStaticBoxSizer and set it like this:

wxFont* nf = new wxFont;
StaticBoxSizer7->GetStaticBox()->SetFont(nf->Bold());

And VOILÀ the font is mastered ! ! !
