Hi list, This is not a question nor an answer. And not an advertisement. I made an ultra simple GUI on boost.asio example code below. http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_53_0/doc/html/boost_asio/examples.html My code is on github. https://github.com/Journeyer/wxboost It is implemented from wxwidgets example code for wxTextCtrl under samples/text I don't have any purpose on this post. If anyone cloned my source code and compile and runs he/she would be able to talk with me and with anyone who did the same experiment. My chat server is running until it breaks. I am doing this just for fun ^^; FYI: build environment is Ubuntu/GCC/gtk/wxwidgets/boost Windows7/MinGW/wxwidgets/boost Best regards Journeyer ---------------------------------------- Journeyer J.
