wxWidgets

wxWidgets is a free and open source cross-platform C++ framework for writing advanced GUI applications using native controls. wxWidgets allows you to write native-looking GUI applications for all the major desktop platforms and also helps with abstracting the differences in the non-GUI aspects between them. It is free for the use in both open source and commercial applications, comes with the full, easy to read and modify, source and extensive documentation and a collection of more than a hundred examples. You can learn more about wxWidgets at and read its documentation online at This version of wxWidgets supports the following primary platforms: Windows 7, 8, 10 and 11 (32/64 bit Intel and ARM64). Most Unix variants using the GTK+ toolkit (version 2.6 or newer or 3.x). macOS (10.10 or newer) using Cocoa under both amd64 and ARM platforms. For building the library, please see platform-specific documentation under docs/ directory, e.g. here are the instructions for wxGTK, wxMSW and wxOSX. If you're building the sources checked out from Git, and not from a released version, please see these additional Git-specific notes. Contributions to wxWidgets are always welcome, please don't hesitate to submit your patches or pull requests! If you are not sure how to do this, please check our guidelines explaining it. Not all contributions have to be code, you can also help by improving documentation or translations, for which we have a separate page with more details.
