wxWidgets checkbox event lambda - events

Question

Trying to use lambda to define event handlers for controls of the wxWidgets framework:
wxCheckBox*c=new wxCheckBox(panel,wxID_ANY,"...",wxDefaultPosition,wxDefaultSize);
c->Bind(wxEVT_CHECKBOX,[](wxCommandEvent& event){
wxMessageBox(wxT("This is the message."),wxT("This is the title"),wxICON_INFORMATION);
});
I get these error messages below, complaining about the signature? Or do I need to pass compiler flags to GCC to ensure compatibility with lambdas?
E:\bootsi\New folder\test.cpp:61:3: error: no matching function for cal
l to 'wxCheckBox::Bind(const wxEventTypeTag<wxCommandEvent>&, MyFrame::MyFrame(c
onst wxString&, const wxPoint&, const wxSize&)::__lambda0)'
});

You need to build (both the library and your own code) with -std=c++11 g++ option for lambdas to work. You also need a version of g++ with C++11 support, of course, so at least 4.7.
