Publisher's Description of wxWidgets (formerly wxWindows)
|
" A C++ library that facilitates cross-platform GUI applications development. "
- From wxWidgets Project
wxWidgets is a C++ library that lets developers create applications for Windows, OS X, Linux and UNIX on 32-bit and 64-bit architectures as well as several mobile platforms including Windows Mobile, iPhone SDK and embedded GTK+. It has popular language bindings for Python, Perl, Ruby and many other languages. Unlike other cross-platform toolkits, wxWidgets gives its applications a truly native look and feel because it uses the platform's native API rather than emulating the GUI. It's also extensive, free, open-source and mature. Why not give it a try, like many others have?
wxWidgets gives you a single, easy-to-use API for writing GUI applications on multiple platforms that still utilize the native platform's controls and utilities. Link with the appropriate library for your platform (Windows/Unix/Mac, others coming shortly) and compiler (almost any popular C++ compiler), and your application will adopt the look and feel appropriate to that platform. On top of great 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.
wxWidgets Features
* Cross-platform ability: wxWidgets allows you to target Windows 95/98/ME, Windows NT/2K/XP, Linux/Unix with the GTK+ toolkit (or plain X11, or Motif), and MacOS. So, you don't have to worry that your development investment will be made obsolete by the requirement to target another platform.
* Documentation and samples: Reference manual running to around 1800 pages in HTML, Windows Help, and Acrobat PDF formats. Selection of over 50 samples.
* Wide range of control and window classes: Usual basic controls such as text and bitmap buttons, text entry, scrolling list, combobox, checkbox, and so on, plus more advanced classes including: wxTreeCtrl (shows a hierarchy of text or bitmap labels), wxListCtrl (shows a list of small or large icons), wxNotebook (shows tabbed pages), wxMDIParentFrame (allow child frames to be viewed inside a main frame), wxScrolledWindow (implements a convenient scrolling window), wxSplitterWindow and wxSashWindow (support for windows with sashes - divisions), wxGauge (supports gauge behaviour using the appropriate look and feel for the platform), wxToolBar (on each platform, a good-looking toolbar is available), wxPropertyList (a family of classes for providing property dialogs), wxGrid (a basic grid or table class)
* Powerful event system: An event system similar to (but more elegant and powerful than) MFC's message maps
* Printing and preview facilities
* Debugging facilities: A memory-checking facility that can detect memory leaks, reporting them at the end of the program run in debug mode.
* Compiler support: Support more compilers than probably any other framework.
* Database functionality: A set of ODBC classes, which work on Windows and Unix (subject to the driver being used).
* Document/view classes
* Drag and drop: Most ports support clipboard and drag and drop functionality.
* Easy UI update
* Configuration files: A family of configuration files is supplied, so you can use Windows INI files, the Windows registry, or a portable file format, using the same API.
* Multithreading: Range of thread and mutex classes for the careful and more ambitious programmer.
* Network programming: Comes with a set of TCP/IP classes, including support for popular protocols such as FTP and HTTP
* HTML classes: HTML viewing and printing classes built-in
* OpenGL integration
* Diagramming application support
* OLE automation support
* Multiple language support
