I've figured wxWindows out

Well, I've finally had a little time to spend to figure out wxWindows.

First shot at WeblogNinja

Much better than last time. The interface is Spartan but functional.

This is a program that, once I'm finished with it, I'll be able to use to post to my weblog. I'll be free from XML-RPC as well And I'll share the code for this as an example after it's finished.

Some of the things I wasn't clear on before about wxWindows were various things such as that a sizer isn't a window (not that I thought it was a window, I just wasn't clear on the relationship between panels, frames, and sizers), that a control expands based on settings on the sizer and not set on itself, and in general how sizers, borders, etc. all work. These things are all obvious to me now, but when I was starting from scratch I just didn't know. I've created a wiki page for me to keep track of the type of things you don't always remember.

Keith, please tell me how you were able to make that interface. I mean, I am still learning how to write a compiler, but the ultimate goal is to make a interface. Seeing that you have made your interface encourages me.

Keith, if you could send me info on how to make a compiler, translater, programming language, info on ASCII codes, and blah blah blah, I would be truthfully encouraged. God bless you.

P.S: Please do as much as you can to help me out, Keith. God bless you.

Well, I mentioned I'd share the code for the app when it's done. For compilers, the dragon book is a classic.
