Welcome to wxWindows 2, a sophisticated cross-platform C++
framework for writing advanced GUI applications using (where
possible) the native controls.
-In addition to common and advanced GUI facilities such as frames, scrolling
-windows, toolbars, tree controls, icons, device contexts, printing,
-splitter windows and so on, there are wrappers for common file operations,
-and facilities for writing TCP/IP applications, thread handling, and more.
-Where certain features are not available on a platform, such as MDI and
-tree controls on Unix, they are emulated.
