walk.NewMainWindow failed with message "panic: TTM_ADDTOOL failed"

[sungit]

The goplay failed with this output when fed with the content of examples/drawing.go. But when doing: go run drawing.go , it's ok.

The other program i write using the ui2walk.exe generated ui files runs into this kind of panic again.

It seems there's something wrong with walk.InitWidget , is't right? How to fix it?

The problem can be fixed by putting a matching application manifest file into the directory where your executable resides.

See the Walk examples for such manifest files.

It works, thank you!

I have the same problem even with the rsrc.syso being linked in the notifyicon example.

See the Walk examples for such manifest files.

What manifest?

You need to properly include manifest, it's explained in more detail there.
