Currently supporting Motif, Open Look and MS Windows, a Mac port is under development. A third-party port supports development using Xt. Main features + Simple-to-use, object-oriented API + Graphics calls include splines, polylines, rounded rectangles, etc. + Simple programmatic panel/dialog item layout + Support for menu bars and status lines + Toolbar class + Pens, brushes, fonts, icons, cursors, bitmaps + Easy, object-oriented interprocess communication (DDE subset) under MS Windows and UNIX + Encapsulated PostScript generation and MS Windows printing + Print/preview framework + Document/view/undo framework + Memory-checking and debugging features + ODBC subset support + Virtually automatic MDI support under MS Windows + Support for MS Windows printer and file selector common dialogs, with equivalents for UNIX + Under MS Windows, support for copying metafiles to the clipboard + Programmatic form facility for building form-like screens fast, with constraints on values + Applications can access MS Windows Help or wxHelp help system + All source, examples + Reference manual in PostScript, wxHelp, WinHelp, HTML, RTF forms Additional features + Simple-to-use Windows program installation utility for delivering your applications + wxCLIPS: an interface to NASA's CLIPS, for rapid GUI prototyping and application extension + wxPython: an IDE for rapid object-oriented GUI development + Tex2RTF utility for maintaining online and printed manuals + Tree layout, graph layout, charting and grid classes + Contributed advanced editor/hypertext classes + Dialog Editor Compilers supported + Most Windows compilers: MS Visual C++ 1.x/4.x/5.x, Borland 3.1/4.x/5.x, Symantec C++, Watcom C++ (WIN32 only), GNU-WIN32 + Most UNIX compilers, including GCC Platforms supported + All MS Windows variants + Most if not all UNIX variants, including Linux, Solaris 1.x, Solaris 2.x, HP/UX, SGI IRIX, OSF/1, IBM AIX + VAX/VMS (partial support) + Mac (68K and PPC) port in progress, with alphas available ============================================================================= This kit is preconfigured for building under OpenVMS VAX & Alpha with DEC CXX and DEC C compilers. Extra libraries compiled are xpm, image and wxstring The make processus is not able to include extra libraries into [.lib]wx.olb (too long dcl line ...). I've put a small dcl script [.lib]extralibs.com to complete the job. You can invoke it after the build if you want to have all modules into wx.olb. Please, take allok at Stefean Hammes' VMS FAQ into the kit. Patrick Moreau pmoreau@cena.dgac.fr moreau_p@decus.fr
