wxWidgets Discussion Forum

Hello. I am starting with wxWidgets and I would ask about your opinion what projects/app may be good for beginners to start ?

Whatever. The main thing you should have interest in it.
If you like 2d games - write simple game like minesweeper and so on.
Maybe you have some stuff that you would like to automatize - at the last end it could be todo list.

I'm just starting out and writing a simple GUI for an app to calculate the area of a circle using a function and including a skeleton menubar and toolbar with just one item. I'm planning on using this a template for more complex programs that I have planned.

It's very simple but includes a number of commonly used wxWidgets.

I think wxwidgets is great and easy to use. But is it still popular and used by developers ?

Define "popular"

Based on the github and forum activity i'd say the wxWidgets developers and community are quite active. But of course you can't compare it e.g. to something like React

Hi,
Also, consider that it is completely free and has a very relaxed license, comparing to Qt.

Thank you.
