Wow, I'm glad I asked.
In my previous experience, wxWindows was a buggy, difficult to use,
not-readable MACRO filled mess.
It would literally take me longer to get a menu working than to code the
OSG 3D feature that went with it.
I was hoping to at least get the GUI builder of MFC or .NET, but it is
true that the code there is also the same buggy, difficult to use,
not-readable mess.
I also didn't like having to make many different packages work first
before wxWidgets would even install.
Is there a good wxWidgets GUI designer that will work with windows?
I've heard little bits about wxDesigner?
On the same topic, I didn't see any project files with wxWidgets 2.8.0.
Is it reasonably easy to build?
I was really ready to ditch what I perceived as unwelcome wxMess, but if
the consensus is that it is better than porting, I'll definitely give it
a try.

It sounds like you should be able to almost just build it.
I'm sure there will be some minor issues, but wxwidgets runs on widows
and we use osg built with vs 2005. I think I would just try to get it
working as is before going the route of trying to run it managed or
with a .Net GUI.
Agreed. Porting to Forms will be a trmendous PITA. Stick with OSG and
wx.

Hi,
I use DialogBlocks for this. It´s not free, but if you have just a few
controls you might be able to use the shareware-version.
You can
- build wxWidgets with it
- build your Menus with it
- generate makefiles and Visual-Studio project-files with it
Porting my geometry-application with wxWidgets, osg and DialogBlocks
from Windows to linux took me about three hours, and it has definitely
more than just a menu (about 30 000 lines of code).
I agree that wxWidgets at first looks a bit messy because of the macros.
But if you use a decent tool like DialogBlocks (there are others around,
too) you won´t see too much of this, and then it´s a really great
toolkit, very full-featured, very stable and very very well supported.
Regards,
Andreas
