Figure 2-1. Minimal sample under Windows

The minimal wxWidgets application shows a main window (a wxFrame) with a menu bar and status bar. The menus allow you to show an "about box" or quit the program. Not exactly a killer app, but it's enough to show some of the basic principles of wxWidgetsand to reassure you that you can start simple and work your way up to a complete application as your confidence and expertise grow.
