Wt

ok, kind of fixed it.

I looked at WObject and added the following lines from there to the hpp file:

@#if defined(WT_USE_BOOST_SIGNALS)

#include <boost/signals/trackable.hpp>

#include <boost/signal.hpp>

namespace Wt {

namespace Signals {

using boost::signal;

using boost::signal0;

using boost::signal1;

using boost::signal2;

using boost::signal3;

using boost::signal4;

using boost::signal5;

using boost::signal6;

using boost::signals::trackable;

using boost::signals::connection;

using boost::signals::at_front;

}

}

#elif defined(WT_USE_BOOST_SIGNALS2)

#include <boost/signals2/trackable.hpp>

#include <boost/signals2.hpp>

namespace Wt {

namespace Signals {

using boost::signals2::signal;

using boost::signals2::trackable;

using boost::signals2::connection;

using boost::signals2::at_front;

// Note: signal0-6 are not available in signals2 if the compiler supports

// variadic templates

}

}

#endif@

then I just commented out one of them.

it worked. the only problem the width and the height of the edit field is not the same as of the view field

Hey,

W.r.t. Signals: since WInPlaceAreaEdit.hpp includes WObject (indirectly through WCompositeWidget?) I am surprised you got this error in the first place? Or is it because you are basing your WInPlaceAreaEdit.hpp on a WInPlaceEdit of a more recent Wt version?

To make the edit size itself to the available size, you will need to use a layout manager.

Regards,

you are correct. that was the case. I used the more recent WInPlaceEdit header file in older wt version that I have on my fedora.

thanks for the tip about the layout manager. I ended up changing the size manually. but i'll use the layout manager on the next iteration of the code.
