In my experience, wxWindows is not ready for native Windows programs.
It has too many rough edges, and the looks are plain bad.
(The same is the case with Fltk.)
The only serious cross-platform toolkit is Qt, but unfortunately,
it's commercial for the Windows version.
For a usable Windows port, the only other option (IMO) is Microsoft
MFC.
