Thanks both to Julian and Otto. >Of course you may consider to put up your project on wxCode to attract >others. But unless it's at least somehow working on one port it won't >help either. The best way is always to make a sample so interested >people can just try it out. I already have a sample working perfectly on Win32 but with two problems under wxGTK.... I have contacted Mark McCormack as Julian has suggested me; I hope he will be able to help me.
