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.
dde: shows the DDE protocol in action, both using real
DDE on Windows, and TCP/IP on all platforms. Edit ddesetup.h
to switch between compilation modes. Currently the TCP/IP mode needs a bit of work.
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.
html: a number of demos for the wxHTML class library, used inside
applications and also as a help facility.
image: shows off the cross-platform wxImage class.
internat: use of wxWindows' internationalization support.
joytest: tests the wxJoystick class (currently Windows and GTK only).
layout: shows the constraint layout system in action.
listctrl: demonstrates the wxListCtrl (implemented natively on
WIN32, and using a generic version on other platforms).
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).
proplist: demonstrates the property list classes (a VB-style property editor).
regtest: tests the low-level Windows registry functions (Windows only).
resource: shows how to use wxWindows resources (.wxr files).
richedit: a work-in-progress rich text editor with plain text and HTML export
facilities.
sashtest: demonstrates use of the wxSashWindow class to allow
the user to resize subwindows.
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.
