ERLANG - wxGrid register

Im having some trouble with the erlang wx module.

My program runs as follows:

Server = wx:new(),
Frame = wxFrame:new(Server, -1, "" [{size,{700, 600}}]),  %%%REFERENCE TO WINDOW
Panel  = wxPanel:new(Frame),  %%% REF TO PANEL IN FRAME

Then I pass Panel to another process and try to create a Grid

XreportZ  = wxGrid:new(Panel, 24, [ {pos, {0,0}} , {style, 1}] ),

The problem occurs when I pass panel, erlang says that the object Panel becomes invalid outside of its local process. So how is it that I can reference Panel outside of the function that spawned it. I do not believe register can be used for this. I belive the answer lies somewhere is referencing the Server and getting back the Panel ID.

To date I still can find no answer.

Solution

  • Did You try "wx:get_env/0"?

    I am not too deep inside wxErlang/wxWidgets, but maybe this could be a start...
