It looks like you just somehow subclass wxWindow and go from there, 
but I haven't tried it.  That ASlider looks like a decent example.

There's a way to add "unknown" widgets in wxglade and xrced.  wxglade 
also provides a way to add properties, though I didn't figure out how 
to access them.  I'd figure out how to use it, but I have to run.
