If you want to discuss Magick there are more appropriate lists. :-)

wxWidgets offers no Magick solutions any more than a hand coded version would 
know which menu Autoroute should be placed under, on different platforms 
without it being programmed in that manner.  Autoroute is not a standard 
behavior of any platform.

wxWidgets would know about the standard behaviors that should preformed and 
where they would be located to get the native feel for that platform.  
However you can still code it differently if you don't want it to behave in a 
standard manner.

There are many samples in the wxWidget build, why not try a few of them for 
yourself; on different platforms if you like?  You will either have wasted a 
few minutes of time if you do not like it, or saved yourself an immense 
amount of time on all future projects for the foreseeable future if you do 
like it.  Maybe that is Magick after all... ;-)
