Good Evening!
I'm on the way to use wxWidgets in a commercial project. so far so good
1. Can i use wxWidgets without any restrictions?
2. Does wxWidgets support threads?
3. I want to draw in a window of a foreign application. Is it possible? Any OS? Any application type? MFC-Windows? Or Delhi?
4. I need a good database, cross platform and easy deploying. Is firebird the right database? If yes, which api should i use?
Thank you very much and excuse my bad english!
Which framework or toolkit should i use? Topic is solved

1. You can find the exact license here : http://www.wxwidgets.org/about/newlicen.htm. But as far as i know (though i'm no lawyer) wx can be (and has been) used in commercial applications.
2. Yes
3. Never heard of that. Maybe native code can do that. I guess it all depends on whether this foreign application expects to be painted on, and what means it offers to that end

I will cover for no 4 answer
4. Yes Firebird is one of a good choice. To connect it via c++
you can use IBPP http://www.ibpp.org or databaselayer
http://wxcode.sourceforge.net/components/databaselayer/
more detail, take a look at http://www.firebirdfaq.org/faq9/

Hi!
But this won't be corss-platform in any way. You can use the native API however to achieve this. You can even use wxWidgets to do the drawing via wxDC by getting the HDC and then using the undocumented SetHDC() method.
If "draw text on it" really means a drawing action and not inserting the text, yes, it can be done.extreme001 wrote:I mean i want to get a window e.g. "Notepad" by FindWindow and want to draw text on it, or symbols via the graphics context. Is it possible?

Distributing wxWidgets in commercial applications is indeed possible (and rather easy) but there is some tricks to know if you want to do things really properly...
Have a look at this page for more info.
