Learning wxWidget

Ploempie:
Hello,

I programmed for many years only console applicationes.
Now I like to learn to build GUI's.
I want to use Code::Blocks for it.
I am using Linux Mint Mate.
I wonder how to learn to built GUI's. with Code::Blocks.
Is wxSmith the same as wxWidget and is there a tutorial to lear building GUI's with it?

1. wxSmith is NOT the same as wxWidgets.
2. wxSmith is a CB Plugin that helps to create wxWidgets CB projects. I have only used wxSmith enough to verify the plugin loads and closes without crashing. Added link to wiki page below that says its a tutorial.
3. wxSmith is often compared to other things like listed here http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=Comparison_of_wxSmith_features

Try reading http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=WxSmith_tutorials Note: I have NOT read it, myself.

Thank you  stahta01 for the information and the links.
Sadly enough it is not possible here to use Code::Blocks and wxSmith.
I built a wxWidget project, that means only gave it a name and tried to compile and build.
But there are all kinds of  fatal errors about headerfiles that are missing.
And when I opened Code::Blocks there was a yellow frame appearing in the right down corner telling that some plugins were not loaded because of a different version of SDK.

BlueHazzard:
C::B Version? C::B source? Have you installed wxWidgets (wxWidgets is not included in C::B!!)?

Ploempie:
I have C::B 12.11 which I downloaded from the Linux Mint Software Center.
I have not installed wxWidgets because I thought I came with C::B.
It is only for Python in the Linux Mint Software Center and I don't know anything about Python and don't want to.
So how can I get it and make it work for C::B 12.11 for just C++ Gui programs?
