The upcoming FileZilla 3 will be split into two parts: The FTP engine and the interface. The FTP engine will be compiled as static library.
It can be used in all applications using the wxWidgets framework.

Know of any good resources for learning about the wxWidgets framework?

I'm working from a VB.NET/C# languages and I've never heard of the wxWidgets framework.

http://www.wxwidgets.org

It's a C++ framework to write cross platform applications. Something which is hardly possible with VB or C#.

Hi,

Anyone knows why FileZilla 3 uses WxWidgets instead of GTK (Gnome) or QT (KDE) as its development framework.

I would like to know the pros and cons.

Someone tells me to write crossplatform application using GTK is better than WxWidgets because it is difficult to support Windows 95/98 based OSs if multilingual is a requirement. I notice there is a API called WxWidgets Universal and so I think the multilingual issue is not an issue anymore.

Any idea?
