Paul asked:
What are the advantages of wxWidgets over the standard dialogue boxes that come with the development environment?
Wxwidgets is implemented on a number of environments, so that if one uses it exclusively, the your program will compile on various platforms (e.g. Linux, Mac, as well as Windows). Of course this depends on your not using any other windows calls. Also, wxwidgets uses a fairly high level of abstraction, so within it's feature set, less coding is needed to achieve a particular effect. On the other hand, if what you want to do isn't supported, then you have to do lower level coding anyway. Disclaimer - I don't pretend to actually KNOW anything about this topic :-) Tim
