I was talking about the API, and I have never used MFC, so I can't
comment there.

If you mean the user interface (ie the pixels drawn on-screen)?  If
so, then you are correct, but only if you are using MS Windows and
wxMFC.  (I suppose one could build wxGTK on MS Windows using GTK for
windows, or an appropriate X server)  wxWindows provides an API that
is constant, regardless of platform.  That API is then implemented in
terms of the platform's native toolkit (wxMFC, wxGTK, wxMotif, wxMac,
others?).  The end result is application (your) code that is portable
and a look-and-feel that is (almost) identical to the native
look-and-feel.
