wxWindows code/articles
-
Not sure how pervasive wxWindows is around here. I've heard of at least a few people using it. So far, for examples, I've basically used the examples that come with the code, or figured stuff out from the code itself. So far I have not found anything insurmountable, but boy, a section in CodeProject for wxWindows articles would be nice. I'd ask if there was another site that had wxWindows articles and code snippets... but I'd quickly start going through :bob: withdrawal, and I know I couldn't take that for very long. Also, does anyone else find it ironic that, although so far my only target platform is Win32, and I use Visual Studio.NET, I am using wxWindows for a lot of stuff instead of, say, MFC or .NET? :-O Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

Navin, Instead of just wxWindows, how about a section devoted to nothing but alternate (particularly OSS, but not neccessarily restricted to) toolkits/application frameworks, that would include wxWindows as well as others? Of course I am not entirely objective, since I work on the VCF ! :) ¡El diablo está en mis pantalones! ¡Mire, mire!

Hehe, I'm in the same boat as you...Win32, VS.NET, but I use wxWindows, 'cause I can't give up the thought of portable code. :-D (actually, I'm working on compiling my app on linux at the moment. I got it compiled but..."segmentation fault" doh!) However, VS.NET 2003 with it's C++ winforms support really looks tempting. Anywho... I don't know if there's enough wxFollowing around here to justify a whole section on wxWindows, but I'd be will to help how I can. I think a section for "alternate software" could be a cool thing, I'd love to see more stuff on wxWindows, Perl, etc... :) -Lunchy

If you want something like WinForms, check out the Visual Component Framework[^] and the VCF Builder[^]. I am in the process or porting it to linux right now, and hope to have something that people can start using sometime in Feb (it is already working in Win32). Of course, if this truly sounds interesting, you can always help with the linux port :) ¡El diablo está en mis pantalones! ¡Mire, mire!
