Welcome!

Welcome to the wxCocoaDialog Wiki! wxCocoaDialog is a Win32 port of the CocoaDialog project. Originally developed by Alexander Stigsen, wxCocoaDialog is an open source outgrowth of the e Text Editor, a commercial text editor for Windows that, among other things, is generally compatible with TextMate bundles.

wxCocoaDialog provides a set of common GUI controls such as text input, progress bars, yes/no confirmations and more from within a command-line application. It requires no knowledge of the underlying graphics toolkit (wxWidgets), and is ideal for use in shell and Perl scripts (or Ruby, or Python, or... etc). Many bundle commands in e and TextMate use (wx)CocoaDialog controls.
