PLEASE USE WXWIDGETS
Please use wxWidgets, the multiplatform C++ class library. It's free, open-source
and non-commercial. It's modelled after MFC but it produces code which can
be compiled (using conditional compilation) into native code executables with
the speed and UI look of the platform for which the compile is targeted. So
the Windows executable looks (and is) a real Windows program, the Mac OS X
executable looks (and is) a native Mac OS X program and the Linux executable
is and looks like a real Linux/GTK+ application. It has been in development
by a band of open-source programmers led by Julian Smart for over a decade
(12 years to be exact)!
So code in wxWidgets and your program will run on both Windows, Mac OS X and
Linux, natively. Three for the price of one! And it's much easier to use than
MFC. Dialogs and Windows are easy to design using the DialogBlocks WYSIWYG
UI creator (not free and commercial, but low cost). So prepare your software
to be independent of platform and be prepared for the future.
See http://www.wxwidgets.org for more information.

But I don't use GTK+, so how is that native to my Linux environment?

I've been poking around the wxPython website and am unclear if wxPython has
a wrapper for ALL wxWidget classes or just the GUI-related classes? Does
wxPython also provide a python wrapper for the wxWidget non-GUI classes such
as: ODBC, printing, threading, interprocess communication, XML, streams,
etc.
I realize Python provides many of these facilities natively but through
wxPython, can I use the wxWidget versions instead?
Thanks!

I'm hoping to hear from anyone who has had extensive experience with
writing cross-platform GUI apps using wxWidgets? I'm particularly
interested in "advanced" features such as Outlook or Google Desktop
style pop-ups, ability to skin the UI, set dialog transparency,
customize look and feel: bitmaps, dialog, and control customization
(colors, shapes, etc)...
I'm mostly looking for the comparison between C++ and Java

Hi everybody!
I've got a problem: I want to compile a lot of mini-utilities with
WxWidgets, but every executable is about 3 or 5 MB. Then I want to give
separately the wxwidgets dlls, but I don't know the parameters to use.
I've got Windows XP and wxDev-Cpp
Example:
10 mini-utilities X 4 MB = 40 MB?????
It's better this:

I have an application written in C++ that uses wxWidgets for GUI. I use
embedded Python for scripting inside of this application. I want to use
wxPython to add GUI to my scripts - because my C++ App uses wxWidgets I
thought it to be easy. The problem is that wxPython knows nothing about
wxApp/wxFrame objects created in my C++ application, and insists (by giving
me asserts) that I create another wxApp object for wxPython inside my

Hello. I'm a complete newbie trying to learn Python. I decided to try
some Tkinter examples, including the one from the library reference,
but they don't seem to do anything! Shouldn't there be, like, a
dialog?
I'm running Windows XP and using IDLE. You can assume my version of
Python is the latest.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
