@page overview_roughguide Writing a wxWidgets Application: A Rough Guide
To set a wxWidgets application going, you will need to derive a #wxApp class
and override wxApp::OnInit.

An application must have a top-level #wxFrame or #wxDialog window. Each frame
may contain one or more instances of classes such as #wxPanel,
#wxSplitterWindow or other windows and controls.

A frame can have a #wxMenuBar, a #wxToolBar, a status line, and a #wxIcon for
when the frame is iconized.

A #wxPanel is used to place controls (classes derived from #wxControl) which
are used for user interaction. Examples of controls are #wxButton, #wxCheckBox,
#wxChoice, #wxListBox, #wxRadioBox, #wxSlider.

Instances of #wxDialog can also be used for controls and they have the
advantage of not requiring a separate frame.

Instead of creating a dialog box and populating it with items, it is possible
to choose one of the convenient common dialog classes, such as #wxMessageDialog
and #wxFileDialog.

You never draw directly onto a window - you use a <em>device context</em> (DC).
#wxDC is the base for #wxClientDC, #wxPaintDC, #wxMemoryDC, #wxPostScriptDC,
#wxMemoryDC, #wxMetafileDC and #wxPrinterDC. If your drawing functions have
wxDC as a parameter, you can pass any of these DCs to the function, and thus
use the same code to draw to several different devices. You can draw using the
member functions of wxDC, such as wxDC::DrawLine and wxDC::DrawText. Control
colour on a window (#wxColour) with brushes (#wxBrush) and pens (#wxPen).

To intercept events, you add a DECLARE_EVENT_TABLE macro to the window class
declaration, and put a BEGIN_EVENT_TABLE ... END_EVENT_TABLE block in the
implementation file. Between these macros, you add event macros which map the
event (such as a mouse click) to a member function. These might override
predefined event handlers such as for #wxKeyEvent and #wxMouseEvent.

Most modern applications will have an on-line, hypertext help system; for this,
you need wxHelp and the #wxHelpController class to control wxHelp.

GUI applications aren't all graphical wizardry. List and hash table needs are
catered for by #wxList and #wxHashMap. You will undoubtedly need some

platform-independent @ref functions_file, and you may find it handy to
maintain and search a list of paths using #wxPathList. There's many
