Cross-Platform GUI Programming with wxWidgets
"This book is the best way for beginning developers to learn wxWidgets programming in C++. It is a must-have for programmers thinking of using wxWidgets and those already using it."—Mitch Kapor, founder of Lotus Software and the Open Source Applications FoundationBuild advanced cross-platform applications that support native look-and-feel on Windows, Linux, Unix, Mac OS X, and even Pocket PCMaster wxWidgets from start to finish—even if you've never built GUI applications beforeLeverage advanced wxWidgets capabilities: networking, multithreading, streaming, and moreCD-ROM: library of development tools, source code, and sample applicationsForeword by Mitch Kapor, founder, Lotus Development and Open Source Application FoundationwxWidgets is an easy-to-use, open source C++ API for writing GUI applications that run on Windows, Linux, Unix, Mac OS X, and even Pocket PC—supporting each platform's native look and feel with virtually no additional coding. Now, its creator and two leading developers teach you all you need to know to write robust cross-platform software with wxWidgets. This book covers everything from dialog boxes to drag-and-drop, from networking to multithreading. It includes all the tools and code you need to get great results, fast. From AMD to AOL, Lockheed Martin to Xerox, world-class developers are using wxWidgets to save money, increase efficiency, and reach new markets. With this book, you can, too.wxWidgets quickstart: event/input handling, window layouts, drawing, printing, dialogs, and moreWorking with window classes, from simple to advancedMemory management, debugging, error checking, internationalization, and other advanced topicsIncludes extensive code samples for Windows, Linux (GTK+), and Mac OS XAbout the CD-ROMThe CD-ROM contains all of the source code from the book; wxWidgets distributions for Windows, Linux, Unix, Mac OS X, and other platforms; the wxWidgets reference guide; and development tools including the OpenWatcom C++ compiler, the poEdit translation helper, and the DialogBlocks user interface builder.© Copyright Pearson Education.
