"Linux - Guide to Programming and Development" (Linux - Wegweiser zur

"wxWidgets is the most complete implementation of a C++ class library
available for Linux".
"C Magazine" (Japan), August 1998, on an accompanying CD together
with Gnu-Win32
"Linux-Magazine" (Germany), July 1998 about wxGTK (no, there isn't a
commercial version of wxWidgets despite the implication):
"Even strict C++ users can now use the free GTK toolkit ... The Linux
community can now make use of this open class library in addition to the
commercial version of wxWidgets. ... It remains to be seen, if there is
soon going to be a wrapper for the Qt toolit."

"... wxWidgets presents a high-level API that translates into
the widgets used on Motif, XView, and Windows...wxWidgets does
notemulate behavior; it simply calls the relevant Motif, XView, or
Windows API..."
"... Developed at the Artifical Intelligence Applications
Institute of the University of Edinburgh, wxWidgets also
includes... DDE... for both Windows and Unix, as well as...
MDI..."
"... wxWidgets supports the concepts of constraints to place
widgets within a panel. This is a tricky concept that lacks
adequate documentation. Luckily, wxWidgets comes with an
extensive set of example programs."
"... All in all, wxWidgets is very workable, but you end up
with huge executable programs, even larger than for Motif of XView
alone (neither of which is known for making small executables).
Even so, it's amazing to see XView, Motif and Windows abstracted
to the same functions and data items in a free toolkit..."
"... We used a beta version 1.62 and found it robust..."
