Access child in customized wxPanel

So I have a class MyPanel inherited from wxPanel:

 class MyPanel : public wxPanel
 {
       public:
          MyPanel(wxWindow* parent) : wxPanel(parent){}
          void OnMouseMove(wxMouseEvent& event);
       private:
          DECLAER_EVENT_TABLE()
  };

and another main wxframe defined below:

 class mainFrame : public wxFrame
 {
       ...
       private:
          ...
          MyPanel* myPanel;
          ...
          wxStaticText* StaticText1;
          ...
 };

StaticText1 eventually will be assigned as the child of myPanel. So I want to update mouse cursor's coordinates in the method OnMouseMove()

I am wondering how I can access to StaticText1 and update stuff.

Solution

  • Use friend declaration, like this:

    class mainFrame : public wxFrame
{
  friend class MyPanel;
  ...
};
