Welcome to wxWindows 2, the première cross-platform GUI C++ framework. This is an index of
the plain text, HTML, Windows Help and Acrobat documentation: availability depends on what you've
downloaded from the wxWindows Web site.
ipc: shows the DDE-like protocol in action, both using real
DDE on Windows, and TCP/IP on all platforms. Edit ddesetup.h
to switch between compilation modes.
dialogs: shows some of the common dialogs available -- wxFontDialog,
wxColourDialog, wxFileDialog, wxDirDialog, wxMessageBox, wxTextEntryDialog, wxSingleChoiceDialog.
For printing-related dialogs, see the printing sample.
dnd: demonstrates drag and drop on supported platforms.
docview: demonstrates use of the document view classes,
using wxFrame.
docvwmdi: : demonstrates use of the document view classes,
using wxMDIParentFrame, wxMDIChildFrame.
mdi: shows off the MDI (Multiple Document Interface) classes. On Windows, the regular MDI
scheme is used whereby child windows have full sizing and moving rights within the main
window. On other platforms, tabbed windows are used, where the children are always maximized.
memcheck: demonstrates the memory checking/debugging facilities.
mfc: shows how to use MFC and wxWindows code in the same application (Windows only).
To compile this, you must edit include/wx/wxprec.h, comment out the windows.h inclusion, and recompile wxWindows.
minifram: demonstrates a frame with a small title bar. On
platforms that don't support it, a normal-sized title bar is displayed.
minimal: just shows a frame, a menubar, and a statusbar. About as
small a wxWindows application as you can get.
nativdlg: shows how wxWindows can load a standard Windows
dialog resource, translating the controls into wxWindows controls (Windows only).
scrollsub: demonstrates the use of wxScrolledWindow to scroll
an embedded window.
sockets: demonstrates the TCP/IP family of classes.
splitter: demonstrates the wxSplitterWindow class.
tab: demonstrates the generic tab window class. You should
normally use wxNotebook instead, but the generic code is sometimes useful, for example for
implementing wxNotebook on platforms with no native support.
taskbar: demonstrates the wxTaskBarIcon class, for
adding icons to the system tray. Windows only, but may eventually be implemented for other desktop
environments that use this metaphor.
text: demonstrates single and multiline text controls,
and clipboard operations.
thread: tests the family of classes for doing thread
programming.
