It is using pure windows, just like MFC is pure windows. Both are in C++ 
and both are a OO layer on top
of the windows API. The good thing is that wxWidget has a more general 
layer which can be implemented
for othere platforms as well.

Then what do you use normally, i mean C++, MFC? yeka ;-) ?

Yep we are working on a release, but you wanted to help with a drawing 
tool so i just did let you know  ;-)

Inside there is also an application which is a drawing/editor. The thing 
is i don't need a normal art drawing program,
much more a drawing program for chip design etc. This requires very 
different features, like zoom and draw at the same time.
wxArt2D is designed to be able to have multiple views, and editing at 
various levels in the drawing document.
Still it can do the more general stuff too.
