What is wxWidgets ?
wxWidgets (formerly wxWindows) gives you a single, easy-to-use API for writing GUI applications on multiple platforms. Link with the appropriate library for your platform (Windows/Unix/Mac, etc...) and compiler, and your application will adopt the look and feel appropriate to that platform. On top of great a GUI functionality, wxWidgets gives you: online help, network programming, streams, clipboard and drag and drop, multithreading, image loading and saving in a variety of popular formats, database support, HTML viewing and printing, and much, much more.
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:
- wxUniversal: Supporting natively any platform
- wxBase: Text-only support
- wxMac: For MacOS X/Carbon, MacOS Classic
- wxCocoa: For MacOS X/Cocoa (Under development)
- wxX11: For XLib on Unix
- wxGTK: For GTK+ versions 1 and 2 on Unix
- wxQt: For Qt libraries on Unix (Under development)
- wxMSW: Windows (32 and 64 bits). Windows 16 bits is no longer maintained
- wxOS2: OS/2 support
- wxMGL: Using the multi-platform MGL library
- wxBasic: For Basic language
- wxMotif: For Motif language (No longer maintained)
- wxPerl: For Perl language
- wxPython: For Python language support
- wxTCL: For TCL language support
- wxLua: For Lua language
- wxPalmOS: Port for PalmOS
- wxWinCE: Port for WinCE/Mobile
- wxNano-X: Port for Nano-X
- wxMicroWindows: Port for *Microwindows
- other ports such as wxCurses, wxJavaScript, wxNextStep, wxGEOS, wxBEOS, etc...
