个人感觉在wxWidgets UI编程时，一开始最难于理解和使用的就是Sizer，尤其是在与各种控件、Panel嵌套搭配的时候，包括对控件间隙以及父窗口大小发生改变时各个控件的变化定义等。在网上发现这篇文章非常详细的总结了Sizer, Frame和Panel的关系并通过简单的实例深入浅出地讲解了这一部分，转载在此供大家参考，如果你有相关技术问题或者开发心得也可以发评论参加讨论。

[原文如下] 最近在研究跨平台的C/C++ GUI库，基本说来功能强大，稳定且开源的库就是QT和wxWidgets了，关于他们之间具体的比较详见《WxWidgets Compared To Other Toolkits》。 N年以前研究过一段时间QT的代码，不过主要因为其在Windows开发商用软件还是要一定的license费用，所以不能说是真正的免费跨平台。 wxWidgets则是一套免费开源的跨平台C++ GUI库，它的一个特点就是可以转换为native 的api图形界面。就是说用同样的代码，在windows平台看起来就是window风格的，在X Windows平台看起来就是linux风格的。

SDL - Simple DirectMedia Layer, is a cross-platform multimedia library designed to provide low level access to audio, keyboard, mouse, joystick, 3D hardware via OpenGL, and 2D video framebuffer. It is used by MPEG playback software, emulators, and many popular games, including the award winning Linux port of "Civilization: Call To Power."

SDL supports Linux, Windows, Windows CE, BeOS, MacOS, Mac OS X, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, BSD/OS, Solaris, IRIX, and QNX. The code contains support for AmigaOS, Dreamcast, Atari, AIX, OSF/Tru64, RISC OS, SymbianOS, and OS/2, but these are not officially supported.  SDL is written in C, but works with C++ natively, and has bindings to several other languages, including Ada, C#, D, Eiffel, Erlang, Euphoria, Guile, Haskell, Java, Lisp, Lua, ML, Objective C, Pascal, Perl, PHP, Pike, Pliant, Python, Ruby, Smalltalk, and Tcl.  SDL is distributed under GNU LGPL version 2. This license allows you to use SDL freely in commercial programs as long as you link with the dynamic library. – libsdl.org

安装步骤：

1. 通过下面的链接下载CB官方安装包，如果你还没有安装MinGW，可以选择下载绑定MinGW的CB软件包；

2. 按照每步的说明运行安装；

3. 如果你想安装其他编译器，可参考安装文件中信息，我们也会稍后提供相关的详细说明【cbforge.com注】；

4. 如果没有安装绑定MinGW的版本，你需要手工配置编译器

以下是原文：

Install steps

1. Download the Code::Blocks 8.02 installer. If you know you don’t have MinGW installed, download the package which has MinGW bundled.
2. Run the installer, it’s a standard installer for Windows; just press Next after reading each screen.
3. If you’re planning installing a compiler after you’ve installed Code::Blocks, read the information provided in the installer.
4. If you downloaded the installer which doesn’t come with MinGW, you may have to configure the compiler manually (usually Code::Blocks’ auto detects the compiler).
