- The 'Documentation'-section of wxwidgets.org holds much valuable information. Especially the full online documentation is invaluable. The most important sections are:
- The class reference is something most developers will want to have handy at all times while programming with wxWidgets.
- The same goes for the Functions and Macros page.
- The Programming Guides are very good articles on specific features/concepts.
- You can quickly access the documentation from your browser using Browser-Shortcuts For The Online Docs
- This Wiki itself provides documentation, tips, pitfalls, warnings and plenty of links to relevant sections in the official documentation. Try a search on the left menu if you're looking for something specific.
