I think I must be getting stupid in my old age...I installed Dev-C++, then wxDev and all worked. Read through Sof.T's intro - all worked. But now I want to check out the Samples and ... nothing! So, the dumb question is - do I need to download wxWidgets 2.8.4 and compile that or is it all somewhere in my system and I can't find it? Sorry for the dumb question. I'm so used to BorlandCB6 and am feeling the need to go open source.

I don't think so(?) I've got it running, made my own silly small app, can click on the objects on the right and get them on to frame, compile etc. It's just that I'm trying to find the Samples that wxW keeps talking about. I have 'Examples' in the Dev-Cpp folder but no 'Samples'. I'm sure I'm simply missing something obvious!

Do you have for example a folder: \wx\samples or may-be examples\wxWidgets or something similar? If you got your own wxWidgets programs to compile, you most probably have the samples too (but they seem to be in different places depending on how you obtained them)...
If you can't find them, you could try file search to locate them. And if everything else fails, yes, you can download wxWidgets.

Make your life easier and just use wxDev-C++. It is a derivative project that includes all you need to use wxWidgets with Dev-C++ with no separate downloads or installations, and also provides a RAD GUI design tool. http://wxdsgn.sourceforge.net/ It currently ships with wxWidgets 2.8.2 - unless it is broke with your code I would not 'fix' it for a 0.0.2 release increment.
Really really carefully uninstall Dev-C++ first though - as described in the "PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING A QUESTION" thread.

OK people - thanks for your answers and advice - I shall just get on with it now.

Brian,
Are you asking a question about how to run wxDev-C++?
