My pretty Qt!
eranif:
Mm, 1700$? maybe for one platform...
I just purchased 4 Qt licenses for my team - the console edition (no GUI), costs us around 3300$ (!!) per developer (If we needed only 1 platform we would have used the OS API directly and not Qt)

Sorry, i didn't understand. You mean i need to learn more about wx and be sure that for some purposes it's better? I've understood that it's better to write the commercial software with wxWidgets. But C::B is free!
You see, i can't get the idea of mandrav: why it is not permitted to use not native events exchange code and widgets' drawing for cross-platform applications (in particulary C::B)??
P.S. No problem, i see that it's almost impossible to convert C::B for Qt, so, let it be so... :)

There are a large number of developers who uses wxWidgets. Don't assume they are morons. wxWidgets has been developed for last 15 years and it's a good alternative. It may not be the best toolkit in the world but definitely it's not a Toy toolkit to write only Hello-World applications.
You may like Qt. It's your choice. But that doesn't mean other toolkits are useless.

Neither we did say that you should start writing commercial apps with wxWidgets nor we said that all Free apps should be written with Qt. It's a choice of the devs and C::B devs prefer wxWidgets.

Because Qt has it's own event management system.

Yes, I said it earlier. We'll not change it to Qt.

Sorry, maybe i'm incorrect, but i really wonder about this:

So what?? How does it hinder the IDE? Maybe it would be just more slow, but i believe it isn't noticeable...

Sorry, it was not the reply that you wanted.
Anyway, Non-native toolkits possesses Non-native look. This is not what we want. An Windows app looks more acceptable if it uses the Windows look'n-feel with which people are used to. Apart from that drawing a non-native control adds an extra processing overhead (Though unnoticeable for most common apps) on CPUs.
