Hi, Is there a serial port lua module or serial port support for wxLua? I am in need of such a library and can't seem to find anything other then the wxCTB library and that is much bigger than I want or need. Any help would be greatly appreciated. -- Regards, Ryan RJP Computing

I have read on wx-users that it works and people like it if that helps. I have not seen it myself, but I assume that wrapping it should be pretty straight forward. Regards, John Labenski

(I saw your message in lua list, but didn't reply it with "use wxCTB" :) ) I used/using it in automation software. It works very well! But I don't have a lua binding for it :( -- Regards, Hakki Dogusan

I saw a really nice serial port library as part of LuaX, but it doesn't use the "require()" mechanism and I don't know how to change that. Or even if it would be a complete rewrite. > I used/using it in automation software. > It works very well! Good to know. Thanks. > But I don't have a lua binding for it :( Too bad because I have know idea how to do that. -- Regards, Ryan RJP Computing

I am new to wxLua and I feel like that would be beyond my skills right now. I use wxWidgets on a daily basis, but Lua I am just starting with. Any article/how-to or help would be greatly appreciated. I think I only want the serial port class not the whole library. Should I make it a wxLua module? Is that equivalent to binding? -- Regards, Ryan RJP Computing

The bindings are easy to make, read this http://wxlua.sourceforge.net/documentation.php http://wxlua.sourceforge.net/docs/binding.html Take a look at any of the bindings http://wxlua.cvs.sourceforge.net/wxlua/wxLua/bindings/wxwidgets/appframe.i?view=markup Copy the header you want to bind to *.i and then just clean them up a little. See also the apps/wxluacan sample which has it's own bindings. Generate the bindings using genwxbind.lua, using your "rules" file (just copy an existing one and change the names of a few things) and then create the output CPP files. See genwxbind.bat for the command line syntax of genwxbind.lua. Once you've got your binding files, compile them with your project (or make your own lib) and link to it. I suppose that you could make these modules loadable by 'require', but that would take some doing. Regards, John Labenski

I am going to attempt to create a binding for wxCTB's wxSerialPort and I have a question about the .i file. If the header file has items in it, but the only thing I care about is an enumeration do I delete everything other than the items I care about? -- Regards, Ryan RJP Computing

You need only put the things you want accessible to lua in the .i file. In fact, if a class has a base class you need only wrap the topmost class and add the useful base class functions to it. It would only make sense to wrap the base class if two or more classes use it. Hope this helps, John Labenski
