unable to place chart on wxAuiNotebook

Question

I wrote my С++ application on Win10, wxWidgets version 3.2.0. and I need to display graphs.
For this I want to use the ChartDirector .
I included chartdir70.dll in my project and made all necessary settings.
I am using wxChartDir realtimemeasure as an example.

Now I have buttons displayed, but no graph.

/*

void ClientChartsViewer::Init() {
    m_trackLine1 = nullptr;
    m_trackLine2 = nullptr;
}

That is, I want to place a graph on my wxAuiNotebook* PanelViewData. In my code I did the following:

wxAuiNotebook* PanelViewData = new wxAuiNotebook(this, wxID_ANY,
wxDefaultPosition, wxSize(200, 150),
wxAUI_NB_TAB_MOVE | wxAUI_NB_WINDOWLIST_BUTTON | wxAUI_NB_CLOSE_ON_ACTIVE_TAB | wxNO_BORDER);

// Charts
ChartsViewer_ = new ClientChartsViewer(PanelViewData);

I pass a pointer to the PanelViewData to the ClientChartsViewer() constructor.

Answer 1

You don't seem to be calling the base class ctor, which means that the actual ClientChartsViewer window is never created. You must either call the non-default ctor or Create() later for any wxWindow -derived class (which I assume this one is, although I could be wrong because you don't show its declaration explicitly).
