wxQTMediaBackend unwanted popup

BlitzMax Forums/Brucey's Modules/wxQTMediaBackend unwanted popup

I'm trying out the wx lib on Snow Leopard

Why does the mediaplayer.bmx example for wxmediactrl example pop up an messagebox, saying

"Information" -> "wxQTMediaBackend" and how do I disable it?

Also trying out that sample, the file selector does not behave correctly.
I can change to other directories, but only by clicking *arrows* and top dropdown, but I can't actually select a file

Hmm. I've no idea where that's coming from. (I'm guessing, from the library itself!)

The example, otherwise, works as expected for me.

On Mac, it is very important not to use the default BRL.AppStub, because it is not setup to work with Carbon - which wxWidgets is, currently.
If you run an application using this default appstub you will see strange behaviour in various places - most notably concerning window modality and issues when you try to make them active.
The workaround is to use BaH.AppStub, and link to that when you build your application (bmk has an option to do this, "-b bah.appstub").
If you want to build using this appstub from the IDE, you'll need a custom version - there's one available from my MinGW cross-compiler page.

wxQT - sounds like a good candidate for a Frankenstein GUI and the stuff of Brucey's nightmares...

Well, I did actually do a double-take when I saw it at first :-p

Ok, got the custom IDE and the AppStub module.

It seems to fix the file selector issue, but does not remove the popup.

I know. I get it too :-)

I have tried, but can't seem to find the reason for the popup.

Do you have any suggestions as how to hunt it down?
