wxWindows is a class library that allows you to compile graphical C++ programs on a range of
different platforms. wxWindows defines a common API across platforms, but uses the native graphical user interface (GUI) on each platform,
-so your program will take on the native
'look and feel' that users are familiar with.<P>

+<h3>Can I use wxWindows 2 for both proprietary (commercial) projects, and GPL'ed projects?</h3>
Yes. Please see the <a href="newlicen.htm">licence</a> for details, but basically
you can distribute proprietary binaries without distributing any source code, and neither will wxWindows

+world. It's impossible to estimate the true number of users, since
wxWindows is obtained by many different means, and we cannot monitor
distribution. The mailing list contains around 300-400 entries which is
quite large for a list of this type.<P>
See <a href="users.htm">Users</a> for a list of some users and their applications, and
also <A href="feedback.htm">Feedback</a> for comments.<P>
-<H3>How much has the API changed since 1.xx?</H3>
-
-It's difficult to summarize, but some aspects haven't changed very much. For example, if you have some
-complex drawing code, you will mostly need to make sure it's parameterised with a device
-context (instead of obtaining one from a window or storing it). You won't have
-to completely rewrite the drawing code.<P>
-
-The way that events are handled has changed, so for example, where you overrode
-OnSize before, you now have a non-virtual OnSize with a single event class argument.
-To make this function known to wxWindows, you add an entry in an 'event table' using macros. Addition of these macros
-will eventually be made easier by a tool which will allow selection from a list
-and copy-and-paste into your editor. This is extended to button presses, listbox selection
-etc. so callbacks have gone (they may be added back for limited backward compatibility).<P>
-
-The class hierarchy has changed to allow greater flexibility but it probably won't affect your
-existing application. One exception to this is MDI applications which now use separate MDI classes instead of style
-flags. As a result, it won't be possible to switch between MDI and SDI operation at run-time
-without further coding, but a benefit is less interdependence between areas of code,
-and therefore smaller executable size.<P>
-
-Panel items (now called controls) no longer have labels associated with most of them,
-and default panel layout has been removed. The idea is that you make greater use
-of dialog resources, for better-looking dialogs.<P>
-
-<H3>What classes have disappeared?</H3>
-
-wxForm, wxTextWindow (subsumed into wxTextCtrl).
-
-<H3>Does wxWindows 2 mean that wxWindows 1.xx is dead?</H3>
-
-While wxWindows 2 is being developed, there will be further patches to wxWindows 1.xx.
-Obviously we are investing most of our energy into the new code, but we're also trying

This is a hotly-debated topic amongst the developers. My own philosophy
is to make wxWindows as platform-independent as possible, but allow in a
few classes (functions, window styles) that are platform-specific.
For example, Windows metafiles and Windows 95 taskbar icons have
their own classes on Windows, but nowhere else. Because these classes

+
+Set up your interface from scratch using wxWindows (especially wxDesigner --
+it'll save you a <i>lot</i> of time) and when you have a shell prepared, you can start
+'pouring in' code from the MFC app, with appropriate
+modifications. This is the approach I have used, and I found
+it very satisfactory. A two-step process then - reproduce the bare
+interface first, then wire it up afterwards. That way you deal
+with each area of complexity separately. Don't try to think MFC
+and wxWindows simultaneously from the beginning - it is easier to
+reproduce the initial UI by looking at the behaviour of the MFC
