Resources

This page aims to provide an overview what resources (documentation, communication channels, etc) are available to wxWidgets programmers. wxWidgets documentation is rather fragmented, so new users are encouraged to read this document to quickly find their way in the available channels.

Reference material

The wxWidgets Documentation Browser provides a nice frontend for searching though various resources.

  • The Alphabetical class reference is something most developers will want to have handy at all times while programming with wxWidgets.

  • The Topic overviews are very good articles on specific features/concepts.
• You can quickly access these docs from your browser using Browser-Shortcuts For The Online Docs
• This wiki itself provides documentation, tips, gotcha
