Anyone use wxWidgets?

| I have some software I developed earlier for the Win32 API that I would
like to rewrite for cross-platform support (Windows, Linux, BSD, Solaris,
Mac OS). Someone pointed me towards wxWidgets [ http://www.wxwidgets.org/ ]
which appears to do what I want -- provides a C++ framework that results in
native-looking GUIs on target platforms.
Has anyone here used wxWidgets? Any advice? Rewriting my software for any
new platform is going to take a while, so I'm obviously looking for the
best long-term alternative for cross-platform support. Any advice
appreciated.
(Wine is something else I considered, but my intention is to move away from
Windows as the base platform).

I've switched to wxWidgets just for these reasons, to build nice
applications on Windows and used them on Linux as well.
You should look into wxGuide (see link in signature) where you find lots
of sample code snippets to do various tasks to build everything you need
for an ordinary application. There is even a working Demo app where you
just have to add your own code.
