   5 wxWidgets defines a common API across platforms, but uses the native graphical
   6 user interface (GUI) on each platform, so your program will take on the native
   7 look and feel that users are familiar with. Unfortunately native toolkits and
   8 hardware do not always support the functionality that the wxWidgets API
   9 requires. This chapter collects notes about differences among supported platforms and ports.

  21 It's sometimes useful to interface directly with the underlying toolkit
  22 used by wxWidgets to e.g. use toolkit-specific features.
  23 In such case (or when you want to e.g. write a port-specific patch) it can be
  24 necessary to use the underlying toolkit API directly:
