		It's clear that the decision early on was to design wxWidgets for ease of portability of MFC applications, rather than designing from scratch what the best cross-platform approach should be.
		wxWidgets is not nearly as well known as Qt, yet a surprising number of projects have adopted its use.
		Furthermore, wxWidgets is not quite as rich in capabilities as Qt, and you can expect to run into more bugs along the way than you would in Qt.

	TT-Solutions :: wxWidgets
		Of course, choosing wxWidgets now will allow to run your code on other platforms in the future with minimal efforts and it may be important.
		Indeed, wxWidgets (known as wxWindows until 2004) is a mature project with a long history -- it celebrated its 10 year anniversary in 2002 -- providing a wealth of features combined with an exceptional ease of use appreciated by its many happy users.
		However, as often with wxWidgets, the library doesn't force the programmers to subscribe to this point of view and wxWidgets also has a special port called wxUniversal which implements all the high level GUI functionality using wxWidgets itself.

	wxWidgets FAQ: General
		You don't have to use C++ to use wxWidgets: there is a Python interface for wxWidgets, and also a Perl interface.
		wxWidgets library itself is unfortunately not exception-safe (as its initial version predates, by far, the addition of the exceptions to the C++ language).
		You may need to ensure that the compiler support for the exceptions is enabled as, considering that wxWidgets itself doesn't use the exceptions and turning their support on results in the library size augmentation of 10% to 20%, it is turned off by default for a few compilers.

		Even more, wxWidgets grants the look'n'feel and behaviour of your application will remain exactly the same whatever platform you port it to.
		Depending on the platform wxWidgets are running on, the libraries the application is going to be linked to, and the programming or scripting language it is written in, the following wxWidgets supports are available:
		NOTE: aMule is a separate project and is not realated to wxWidgets in any way (apart from using it as it's widgets library).

	The Open Source Zone » wxWidgets
		wxWidgets is not a translator from one GUI from another; it cannot take a Motif application and generate a Windows application, for example.
		However, the wxWidgets API has been praised for its intuitiveness and simplicity, and can be far easier to learn and use than a native GUI API such as Motif or Windows.
		Such a toolkit is not unique - there are others to choose from - but wxWidgets is free, well-established, well-documented, and very broad in its coverage of GUI functionality.

	wxWidgets support by KoanSoftware.com
		wxWidgets is a set of libraries that allows C++ applications to compile and run on several different types of computer, with minimal source code changes.
		wxWidgets is a 'framework' in the sense that it provides a lot of built-in functionality, which the application can use or replace as required, thus saving a great deal of coding effort.
		Koan is 'wxWidgets evangelist' since year 2000 and provides fast and reliable technical support and consulting.

	wxWidgets Programmer Style Guide
		All wxWidgets functions (must) log the error messages on failure -- this can be disabled by using wxLogNull object before calling it.
		All wxWidgets specific style guidelines are specified in the next section, here are the choices which are not completely arbitrary, but have some deeper and not wxWidgets-specific meaning.
		For the platforms where the given functionality cannot be implemented natively, the generic implementation is used and the native one is used for the others.

	Forum Thread : QT, wxWidgets, which to choose. :. GarageGames
		If however you're wanting to keep things proprietory then wxWidgets is still free (been LGPL) where as QT requires a license fee which isn't all that cheap.
		Coding wise, I read that wxWidgets is slightly easier/quicker to use where as QT is better for large applications due to the more flexible framework.
		I started using the glp'd version of QT and wxWidgets, both seem very nice, but I still think that wxWidgets is going to win out simply because of the licensing issues.

		Socket programming with wxWidgets has a decent number of pages dedicated to it and it was all new to me. Unless you are doing some complicated socket work, I'd say the book covers enough to get a nice, cross platform socket system going.
		The wxWidget's manual is a bit lacking in describing the roles of all the various classes and when I was trying to decipher it for myself I vowed to not let anyone else suffer through trying to figure it all out (I have a half written tutorial to prove it ;)).
		wxWidgets is a powerful system which had--until this book came out--a steep learning curve and a lack of useful resources for learning.

		The current wxWidgets distribution can be downloaded from the wxWidgets website.
		When wxWidgets asks for an installation path, you may chose any path you like, but make sure it does not contain any spaces, as they will break some of the scripts.

	Should SWT Build On top of wxWidgets? ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		By passing the issues down to wxWidgets you are passing responsibility on to someone else, but in doing so you are loosing control of how the problems are solved.
		Making it a wrapper on top of wxWidgets would not improve the API, it may (or may not) improve it across multiple platforms but so far SWT has shown itself to be pretty good.
		Well, the reason I suggested wxWidgets is that the goal of SWT is to use native widgets on each platform it supports.

		The short recap is that someone submitted a patch for wxWidgets to add inversion, the patch pretty much sucked, and because I needed inversion for BitWise on OS X, I went ahead and worked on the inversion.

	NewsForge \| Simpler cross-platform programming with wxWidgets and wyoGuide
		For these, the easiest approach is to build a wxWidgets port inside their own framework (sort of a wxWidgets platform) to begin a smooth transition.
		Otto Wyss is a contributor to the wxWidgets project and the author of wyoGuide.
		In other words, wxWidgets does such a good job of abstracting platform differences, that you have to know all about Mac OS X and #ifdef __WXMAC__ all over the place in order to build something remotely usable on that platform.

		This allows for wxWidgets implementations that don't pass a device context to the erase handler, which can be an unnecessary expense if it's not used.

	Prentice Hall PTR - Cross-Platform GUI Programming with wxWidgets
		wxWidgets is an easy-to-use, open source C++ API for writing GUI applications that run on Windows, Linux, Unix, Mac OS X, and even Pocket PC—supporting each platform's native look and feel with virtually no additional coding.
		There is a validation class which has only two type of validators, one for text and a generic one which does no validating at all.
		I'm giving it a 4 star rating because I think wxWidgets is a open-source cross-platform framework at its best, overall the documentation and support is great.

		EDA tool developers using the wxWidget environment to build their EDA tools can now use Concept's NlviewWX engine to create high-quality, high-performance debugging graphical user interfaces (GUIs) for their EDA tools in a very short time.
		wxWidgets give EDA tool developers a single, easy-to-use programming interface for writing graphical user interface (GUI) applications with the ability to target multiple platforms.
		Designers simply link with the appropriate library for their platform (Windows/Unix) and compiler (almost any popular C++ compiler), and their applications will adopt the look and feel appropriate to that platform.

	FileZilla Forums :: View topic - wxWidgets / Win32 IDE Question
		I firstly tried wx-DevCPP but ultimately found the IDE to be resource hungry, sluggish and ungodly unstable (crashes here and everywhere!).
		The other problem was the lack of precompiled wxWidgets headers, requiring my compilation times to span up to 10-15 seconds.
		Some programs do exist purely for the creation of wxWidgets dialogs, such as wxGlade, but again I am ultimately looking for something with integrated / native UI creation support.

	Drawing and Printing in C++ with wxWidgets > Using the Printing Framework (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		However, a more flexible method is to use the wxWidgets printing framework to "drive" printing.
		Instead, screen display is done via the X11 library (via GTK+ and wxWidgets), whereas printing has to be done by sending a file of PostScript commands to the printer.
		Beginning with version 2.5.4, the GTK+ port of wxWidgets can make use of these libraries if wxWidgets is configured accordingly and if the libraries are present.
