Re: Switching from console to Wxwidgets app?

Hello, I've grabbed a copy of VS2005 Express and the windows SDK. I'd
like
to develop the back end of my program in native C++, using a console
app
for simplicity. Then use wxwidgets for the GUI at a later point. How,
roughly, would I
do this? Can I just swap the linker subsystem from Console to Windows
native and then call my stuff through wWinMain? Would Expresses lack
of non console native support cause issues?

Sounds like an excellent plan. It's not a supported use case by Microsoft,
but it is well known that VC++ Express can compile pure Windows apps as long
as you download the Platform SDK (Windows SDK) as well.

Instead of changing the project properties from console to windows
subsystem, I would encourage you to separate the reusable code into a static
library. Then you can include that static library from multiple application
projects: console, wxWidgets, and unit tests.
