*** About wxWindows
|
|
|
|
wxWindows is probably the most powerful and comprehensive
|
|
open-source, multi-platform C++ GUI framework available, which
|
|
can be used to build commercial and free software. It's used by many
|
|
organisations all over the world, including the company that
|
|
invented the GUI.
|
|
|
|
For most ports, wxWindows adopts the native look and feel of
|
|
each platform since it uses the native widget sets. There is also
|
|
a generic widget set, used for the wxX11 port -- no other widget set
|
|
is required, giving the potential for embedded use.
|
|
|
|
An extraordinary range of classes is provided - but don't be put
|
|
off by this because most people find wxWindows easier to learn
|
|
and use than MFC and other frameworks.
|
|
|
|
As well as comprehensive support for the usual widgets, advanced
|
|
features include: HTML viewing/printing, wxImage class providing
|
|
handlers for eading and writing many image types, resizeable panels
|
|
and dialogs on all platforms, document/view, OpenGL support,
|
|
HTML-based and context-sensitive help, wizards, drag and drop,
|
|
a grid class, ODBC support, threads, sockets, container classes,
|
|
and much more. An 1800-page reference manual is provided in HTML,
|
|
MS HTML Help, WinHelp, wxWindows Help and PDF, and there are over
|
|
70 samples and demos.
|
|
|
|
If you're an MFC user, you'll find many wxWindows concepts
|
|
reassuringly familiar, while often clearer and more consistent.
|
|
If you're not, you should still find it intuitive from the start.
|
|
|
|
wxWindows bindings for several other languages are available,
|
|
including Python, Perl, Basic, Lua, JavaScript and Eiffel.
