- wxEuphoria is in a state of flux right now. I think. Right? Well, it's not working for me, so that means it's in a state of flux.
Well, there's been no release so far that will work with eu 4.0, which has itself been in a state of flux. So since you're using eu 4.0, I suppose you're right. The next release will work with both 3.1 and 4.0.
wxEuphoria v0.12.2 should be stable for use with eu 3.1.
Why I want to use wxEuphoria:
- Auto-sizing and other special windowing features.
- Special controls available, like wxHTML, etc.
- Cross-platform. I have clients who aren't on Windows, so this makes it real nice.
Yes, auto-sizing is a wonderful thing. Once I got used to it, I found it a lot easier than even using an IDE. No more dragging controls around. It all just works.
I think my favorite custom control is the wxGrid. It does some nice things, many of which, admittedly, Phil Russell's win32lib add-on EuGrid does, too.
What it will take for me to abandon Win32Lib for good:
- Stable release of wxEuphoria.
- Matt's promise to never abandon it.
Hey, Greg's been doing more with wxEuphoria lately than I have. I'm actually looking forward to getting eu 4.0 out the door so I can have more time to focus on my other stuff like wxEuphoria.
