Welcome

wxDev-C++ is an extension of Dev-C++ by Colin Laplace et. al. This program helps you to create dialogs and frames for wxWidgets visually using a form designer. With all the wonderful features of Dev-C++, wxDev-C++ is still being actively developed. The main aim of this project is to provide the wxWidgets community with a free, open-source, commercial-grade IDE/RAD tool for development with wxWidgets.

If you are new to wxWidgets, have a look at the tutorials page to get yourself familiar with the IDE. Please drop us an email if you wish to join the wxDev-C++ development team or if you wish to submit your own tutorial (see the BBCode syntax reference).

User Testimonials

As the project coordinator for an open source project for the past ten years, and as a long-time user of Borland C++ Builder, I was surprised and happy to find wxDev-C++ - it's one really slick piece of work. Nice job!
—Jon Berndt, Aerospace Engineer, Houston, TX

Thanks for the hard work you all put into wxDev-C++ because I come from a Visual Basic background so I was used to the graphic window designer. Thanks again and keep up the good work!
—Jessica, Student, North Carolina

Designers and Translators needed!

wxDev-C++ needs some graphic designers and translators! We need graphic designers who can help design icons to fill in gaps in our current icon set (if you wish to contribute one complete set, feel free). We also need translators to help update our language files. The multi-language support of wxDev-C++ has been slipping and we would like to get our languages files updaed as soon as possible.

wxDev-C++ 6.10

wxDev-C++ 6.10 was released today. The new features can be found in the Changelog and can be downloaded from SourceForge

Site goes live!

The old wxDev-C++ site is being taken down, and the site you are seeing now is actually a redirect to my temporary server (check the URL ;)). The entire site will be uploaded once the project files are cleared up (which will hopefully be done very soon)
