I can see that there is still a lot of topics at wxWidgets forums related to usage of shared libs or plugins with wxWidgets apps on different platform.
For Windows it's not hard to implement such app but on Linux and OS X this may be quite tricky (especially when you are not planning to use…
Microsoft released their Kinect SDK several days ago.
So, for those wxWidgets developers who are interested in development of Kinect-powered applications, I created a small wxWidgets-based helper library and sample application which will allow to start using Kinect SDK.
wxKinectHelper project is hosted at Google Code.
For now only basic functionality is available:
Retreiving the list of installed Kinect…
JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data-interchange format. It is easy for humans to read and write. It is easy for machines to parse and generate. It is based on a subset of the JavaScript Programming Language, Standard ECMA-262 3rd Edition - December 1999. JSON is a text format that is completely language independent…

решил покорять новые горизонты. Наткнулся несколько дней назад на вводную статью о wxRuby и сегодня решил попробовать. Оказывается это не так страшно.

Оказывается Google Summer of Code для wxWidgets принес много полезного в этом году. Обещают поддержку нотификаций об изменениях файловой системы - wxFSWatcher, а также (внимание!) Ribbon для wxWidgets - wxRibbonBar. А еще.... апгрейды всевозможные для wxAUI (жду не дождусь collapsible panes и tabbed docking).
Все это будет в svn trunk и…
In one of my current projects I had to implement client-server communication and protection by MAC address when client machine can't connect to server if its MAC address is not allowed, regardless of network or broadband connection. But what was a surprise that wxWidgets does not have API which allows obtaining MAC address in cross-platform way. So, I decided to write a small class which allows obtainig MAC address for Windows, Linux, Mac OS and Windows Mobile. Here it is:
Taking screenshots is a very common task and it was a must for one of my current projects. What was a surprise when I understood that my favourite toolkit can't do that in cross-platform manner.
It is official bug that wxScreenDC does not work properly under Mac OS and you can't use Blit() message for copying screen onto wxMemoryDC.
After digging the Internet I found a kind of solution which used OpenGL and created wxWidgets-based class which takes screenshots also under Mac OS. It was really hard task for me because I haven't used neither Carbon nor Cocoa before. However everything works now and I'm happy.
Here it is:

What is AxTk?
AxTk (pronounced Ay Ex Tee Kay) is an open source, C++ add-on for wxWidgets that helps developers create highly accessible, talking applications for users with impaired vision. It may also be useful for other impairments that benefit from a simplified user interface. AxTk features a new menu-based system that is easy to learn and use, in addition to providing adaptation for some existing GUI controls and dialogs. The developer can choose whether to use the menu system, or to adapt an existing application UI, or use a combination of methods. AxTk is cross-platform (tested so far on Windows XP, Linux and Mac OS X 10.5), and includes text-to-speech classes with the ability to drive SAPI 5, Apple Speech Synthesis Manager, eSpeak, and Cepstral. Other speech engines can be driven by writing additional handlers. Note that AxTk is a work in progress and the API is subject to change.Первая статья из цикла, повествующего о том, ка киспользовать библиотеку cairo (и обертку wxCairo) с wxWidgets.
