Hi,

Since I upgraded lots of internal code of VLC to the latest SVN, I can't
manage to use pre-compiled libwxwindows_plugin.dll anymore. And
impossible to find why since it doesn't contain valuable debugging info...

I tried to compile this plugin again on my own, using the latest/fresh
wxWidget 2.5.4 release, with MSVC. And I got numerous compilation
errors. After digging a bit in the code, it seems the current code using
wxWindows has some serious flaws. Here is an example :

I compiled message.cpp alone and got the following error log :

Compiling...
messages.cpp
d:\Perso\Programmes\Videolan\work\modules\gui\wxwindows\messages.cpp(57)
: error C2440: 'type cast' : cannot convert from 'void (__thiscall
wxvlc::Messages::* )(wxCommandEvent &)' to 'wxCloseEventFunction'
          Pointers to members have different representations; cannot cast
between them

I thought it could be a flaw of MSVC, but it's not. OnClose is defined as :

void Messages::OnClose( wxCommandEvent& );

So it seems MSVC cannot cast wxCommandEvent to wxCloseEvent, which is
right since you have the following class heritage in wxWindows :

wxEvent -> wxCommandEvent
          -> wxCloseEvent

Am I getting something wrong, or should the code be improved/cleaned ?
If so, could someone have a look at the compilation log file attached ?

thx
