<H3><a name="dotnet">What about .NET/Mono?</a></H3>
Microsoft is spending a lot on promoting the .NET initiative, which
is a set of languages, APIs and web service components for Windows.
Ximian has started an open source version of .NET, mostly for Linux.
C&#35; is Microsoft's alternative to Java, supporting 'managed code',
garbage collection and various other Java-like language features.<P>
Although this may be attractive to some developers, there
is a variety of reasons why the .NET/Mono combination is unlikely
to make wxWindows redundant. Please note that the following comments
are Julian Smart's opinions.<P>
<ol>
<li>Not everyone wants or needs net services.
<li>C++ will be used for a long time to come; compared with C++, C&#35; is a recent development and its future is not certain.
<li>Mono Forms may only target Winelib (at least to begin with), so the end result is not as native as
wxWindows (I'm aware there is GTK&#35; for use with the C&#35; language).
<li>C&#35; is usually byte-compiled and therefore slower. Plus, .NET adds a layer of overhead to the client computer
that wxWindows does not require.
<li>Mono hasn't proven its long-term viability yet (it's a complex system of components); wxWindows is ready now.
<li>You may not wish to buy into Microsoft marketing spin and APIs.
<li>.NET might never be implemented on some platforms, especially Mac and embedded variants of Linux.
<li>wxPython and other language variants provide further reasons for wxWindows to continue.
<li>The same issue exists for Qt: if Qt sales remain strong, it's a good indication that
the market for a C++-based approach is still there. (Either that, or everyone's turning to wxWindows!)
</ol>
There is nothing to stop folk from developing a C&#35; version of the wxWindows API;
we already have bindings to Python, Perl, JavaScript, Lua, Basic, and Eiffel.
Update: a <a href="http://wxnet.sourceforge.net/" target=_new>wx.NET</a> project is now in progress.

<h3><a name="findericon">How do I add an icon to my application?</a></h3>
If you have Mac OS X, you have the icns editor somewhere in the
Utilities folder. Create an icon using this tool and DeRez it, so that you have a .r
file with a 'icns' resource with id (-16455). Include this .r file in
your project and in the CodeWarrior Settings add a check mark under Linker:Output
Flags/Finder Flags/Has Custom Icon.

<h3><a name="switching">How can I easily switch between different versions of wxWindows in CodeWarrior?</a></h3>
Sometimes you want to test your application against different versions
of wxWindows, for example a stable version of wxWindows versus a development version.
The easiest way to do this is to create a symbolic path.<P>
Under Edit-Preferences in General:Source Trees, type a name (for example WXWIN)
and choose a path for it. Now reselect your include and lib paths for a last
time, in the settings for each configuration, but make them relative to the symbolic name.
<P>
From now on you can just change the path associated with the symbolic name.

If you have a really large executable compiled with MinGW (for example 20MB) then
you need to configure wxWindows to compile without debugging information: see
docs/msw/install.txt for details. You may find that using configure instead
of makefile.g95 is easier, particularly since you can maintain debug and
release versions of the library simultaneously, in different directories.
Also, run 'strip' after linking to remove all traces of debug info.
