I did an app in wxWidgets a while back, and it was really frustrating how many things didn't work as expected: I spent more time wiring up windows to work correctly than actually coding the app.
I don't know if wxWidgets has gotten any better over the years, and I can't remember the specific details of the problems -- just that certain windows HAD to be parents of certain others in order for them to work, even though there was no obvious reason why this would be the case, and there was no documentation explaining this.
The other two look interesting, though. I'll keep those around for future reference.
- mixmastamyk 9y agoI wrote a large wx python app or two in the day and did not have that particular problem.
- SomeCallMeTim 9y agoGood to know. They may have cleaned things up. Or maybe I was doing something weird. For some reason the projects I'm trying to accomplish always seem to be the thing the library designer didn't anticipate. :|
