Re: Re: How to control the version-number

Okay, (This was new to me) so I tried it. I have attached my pjd and
stuff. I am running on Windows XP, SP2, wxWidgets 2.8.5, VS 2005.

The documentation for wxAboutDialogInfo::SetCopyright says:

"Set the short string containing the program copyright information.
Notice that any occurrences of "(C)" in copyright will be replaced by
the copyright symbol (circled C) automatically, which means that you can
avoid using this symbol in the program source code which can be
problematic,";

I cut and pasted the example code and ran it (the attached pjd) and I
get (C)... instead of the copyright symbol.

What am I missing?

Thanks,
Ralph
