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=

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.
