Does wx have good gtk 2x support yet? I know that until very recently building gtk2x versions of wx apps was not ready. Also, what about gnome integration with file selector, print, gnome-vfs, etc for a more native ui? wx is very cool but even their gtk1x version didn’t provide much integration with gnome (whatever that meant in the gnome 1x days).
“Does wx have good gtk 2x support yet?”
for short it does
what about gnome native dialogs and other integration?
Also, on the wxWidgets site I see supported classes for MacOS, does that also mean OSX?
“what about gnome native dialogs and other integration?”
possible
“Also, on the wxWidgets site I see supported classes for MacOS, does that also mean OSX?”
yes
What does “possible” mean? That developers can use native print+save dialogs + gnome-vfs and still be 100% cross platform to windows and OSX?
What about native icons? That seems to be the last incompatability with firefox anyway. Does wx use native icons in gnome correctly with the theme?

no. you cant use gnome-vfs.
Hi, what about HTTP support?
I was trying to develop some apps that need HTTP support (as client) with cookies and… well the class wxHTTP was nothing great at all. Too limited, and too obscure…
Is it better now?
What about something else? do someone know about a portable thin library for HTTP connections developed under C++ (or with ports for it)?
Thanks for the reply
The latest stable release is still for the most part built using gtk+ 1.x. If you build stable from source you supposedly can tell configure to use gtk+2.x, but I haven’t tried it. The next version of wxWidgets will have better gtk+2.x support. I know that Ubuntu is still building wxWidgets with gtk+1.x and I’m guessing debian is too.
I just built pgadmin3 v 1.2. It requires wxwidgets 2.53. If I remember correctly gnome-vfs was a configure option.
