I looked at wxwindows recently. I'm not a GUI programmer, and I found it to be just plain nasty - too much like MFC. Though if you have other toolkit experience it probably isn't so bad. The biggest thing that it lacked was a visual forms editor. I ended up choosing FLTK for my project because it has a nice editor, and is lightweight & easy to use. It doesn't do anything fancy like provde hooks to a sql DB though.
