Best Cross Platform and, Easiest and Best Looking

[DoorToDoorGeek]

Hello All

Question, I want to get off on the right foot, which project application type would give the "best cross platform support and, easiest and best looking" (with the most important being mentioned first)

Simple main with wxWidgets enabled
GUI Application with Main Frame
GUI frame-based application (wxFormBuilder)
GUI dialog-based application (wxFormBuilder)

Thanks for any guidance

I personally always uses 'GUI Application with Main Frame' when I need to develop new GUI application.

codelite will generate for you the frame / app classes with basic toolbar/ menubar
Honestly, I never tried the 2 options with 'wxFormBuilder' - they provided as patch by codelite user, but I never tested them properly (I used them once before applying the patch )

Back to the original topic:
After codelite creates the basic skeleton for me I use the wxFormBuilder plugin to add any new dialog / panel / control that I need.

You will need to install wxFormBuilder first:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install wxformbuilder

The best place to learn wxWidgets is by asking any wx question here:
http://wxforum.shadonet.com/ - a very active forum with a great response time for WX related questions.
If you want examples:

download the wxWidgets sources, in the source tree, there are many examples of probably all the controls in wxWidgets
Also, joining the wx-users mailing list is highly recommended.
