Is there anybody which is tried wxWindows under MacOS? How native is it under Mac?
I tried it. I had some build problems with some of the examples, so I haven't seen everything. Some first impressions: *) All the widgets look and feel native *) The "Grow Box" (window-resizing handle) that intrudes into the lower-right corner of a window on MacOS often covers scroll bar arrows or other controls *) I haven't seen a multiple-document sample app (probably one of those that didn't compile out of the box), so I don't know if it works in a Mac-like way (app should stay open when last window is closed). *) "Exit" Items in the File menu (NOOOO!!!) *) Most sample programs don't provide keyboard shortcuts for many commands where it is expected on the Mac *) Buttons in dialog boxes are placed in the wrong order (another place where MacOS conventions are different from everything else) "Verdict": It is probably possible to write a Mac application that looks and feels "right" using wxWindows. However, wxWindows doesn't provide enough abstraction to make it happen automatically (i.e. without the programmer spending extra time for the Mac OS port). Cheers, Wolfgang
