WxWidgets uses gtk, Short answer: yes you could, if you know how to. I had made it for some apps. Look at Inkscape (inkscape.org) for an example of what you could expect in Windows with gtk/gtkmm. There has been some bugs with screen redraw and windows stack order. There is no (I dont know if exist) a "dont need to change a single line of code" solution though. Mainly because Windows is not fully POSIX compliant (file names and so). WxWidgets uses gtk for Linux, I suppose it uses win32 in Windows. > I've heard, so maybe it's just another (unnecessary?) layer Personally, my own reason is to control 100% of my program.
