My opinion: wxWindgets sucks. I don't like message maps and other
windowesque techniques (like the double-window creation process, command ids
etc). One can easily make a mistake with these techniques.

You might look into using SWIG (Simplified Wrapper and Interface 
Generator), http://www.swig.org/.

Andy has come up with a "D mode" for SWIG, http://andy.tadan.us/d/.

Apparently, wx4j (a Java Binding for wxWidgets) is created with SWIG, 
http://www.wx4j.org/.
