Could it be that GTK is a C language API and WxWidgets is a C++ language API? If you're asking why that is, its because people generally consider it easier to bind other languages to C than to C++. for the wider GTK community, the availability of Python, Perl, PHP, C++ and many other bindings has become very significant. If you prefer to use a C++ idiom/API, just use gtkmm: www.gtkmm.org. I've been using GTK+ for 8 years and i've never use the C API unless i was forced to. --p _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
