Screenshots of wxWidgets Components That May Be Part of SIMPOL Developer Kit

Form Controls

Here are a few screenshots of the wxWidget controls that can be placed on forms. Some of these are already implemented. Not necessarily all of them will be in the release, see the Roadmap for details. If you see a control that you absolutely must have in the initial release, please let us know.

Common Dialogs and Complex Controls

These screenshots of wxWidget windows show some of the more complex and powerful components that we are either planning to add or considering.

Summary

The foregoing images do not represent all of the available controls or control types. They are just intended to whet the appetite a little. The standard control types such as: editable text controls, static text controls, push buttons, check boxes, option buttons, list boxes and combo boxes, based on wxWidgets are already in the product or nearly complete. We will also use the wxWidgets versions of the open and save file common dialogs, since it makes the most sense, in spite of already having our own versions of those for Win32. The "gauge and slider controls" image also shows the tabbed notebook where tabs may or may not include a bitmap. Another version of this is the wxListBook where a listbox is used to change pages. Yet another version, especially interesting for handhelds, is the wxChoiceBook that uses a dropdown combo box to change pages. That can easily allow the switching between many pages without using much screen real estate, which is in short supply on most handhelds.
