Sources of FBP Problems
Typical FBP Opening Challenges
wxWidgets Not Present
You encounter an error message such as "%%os%% Can't Open FBP Files" when trying to open your FBP. If so, it typically means that you don't have wxWidgets installed for %%os%%. The OS won't know what to do with your FBP file, so double-clicking to load the file doesn't work.
Tip: If you know of another program that can open your FBP file, you can try opening it by selecting the application from the programs listed.
Incorrect wxWidgets Version
It is possible that your version of wxWidgets isn't able to open your WxFormBuilder Project file due to incompatibility. If you've got the wrong version of wxWidgets installed, you'll need to install the correct version. This problem is most common when you have an older version of the software application, and your file was created by a newer version that it cannot recognize.
Tip: Right-clicking on your FBP, then clicking "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), can provide clues about your file version.
Conclusion: The majority of FBP file opening issues are due to not having the correct wxWidgets version installed.
Associated Difficulties Loading FBP Files
Although you might already have wxWidgets or another FBP-associated software installed on your computer, you can still encounter problems opening WxFormBuilder Project files. If you are still having problems opening FBP files, there may be other issues that are preventing you from opening these files. Additional factors include:
- FBP file type Registry entries are wrong
- Deletion of the FBP file description from the Registry by mistake
- Invalid installation of a FBP-associated program (eg. wxWidgets)
- File corruption affecting your FBP file
- FBP file integrity has been compromised by malware
- Hardware related to FBPs has device driver corruption
- Windows cannot load your WxFormBuilder Project file due to insufficient resources (eg. RAM)
