I would like to do automation framework for wxwidgets.which is mainly an application designed by C++.

Is wxperl helpful.?

When you say automation framework what exactly are you interested in?
Is it going to be used on Windows, or are you more interested in Cross-Platform?
Is the application complete, and you are wanting to automate it after it has been compiled, or are you wanting to "include" scripting capabilities into your application?

What I would recommend you look into is AutoIt. This is an excellent automation language. It is unfortunately windows only. It however does a wonderful job.

Let me know if that's what you are interested in. If you have any questions about it the Forum there is amazing. It also has the best helpfile I have ever seen. I am JSThePatriot there as well.

Well I am very happy that AutoIt has worked out for you. I am not sure, however, about your image problem. Are you thinking of a screenshot? If so AutoIt has several UDF's that would/could help you in that area. If not then please explain further what you are needing.

I saw something in the Example Scripts forum today about a screenshot UDF or something along those lines. Once you have the screenshot you can then use Pixel*() functions to check whether the graphics are the same.
