wxWidgets 2.9.x
---------------------------------------------------------
Welcome to wxWidgets, a sophisticated cross-platform C++
framework for writing advanced GUI applications using
native controls where possible.
Welcome to wxWidgets, a cross-platform C++ framework for
writing advanced GUI applications using native controls
where possible.
In addition to common and advanced GUI facilities such as
frames, scrolling windows, toolbars, tree controls, icons,
device contexts, printing, splitter windows and so on, there are
wrappers for common file operations, and facilities for writing
TCP/IP applications, thread handling, and more. Where certain
features are not available on a platform, such as MDI and tree
controls on Unix, they are emulated.

are wrappers for common file operations, and facilities for
writing TCP/IP applications, thread handling, and more.
A detailed 2000-page reference manual is supplied in HTML, PDF
and Windows Help form: see the docs hierarchy.
Where certain features are not available on a platform, such
as MDI under Unix and OS X, they are emulated.
For a quick start, point your Web browser at docs/html/index.htm
for a list of important documents and samples.
A detailed reference manual including in-depth overviews for
various topics is supplied in various formats and can be
accessed online.
