Have you seen Gtk2 server and client GUI's with root messaging? :-) It should work on Windows. Wx generally uses Gtk libs as a basis, so if you have Wx installed you can probably install Gtk2. See Installing Gtk2 using PPM on Windows and Install GTK2 for example.

But back to Wx:

I don't have Wx running, but looking at your server code, I see you did not get the previous point I was making about GUI eventloop code, and using sleep, system, while loops, select loops, or anything which interferes with the eventloop. Your code , as written, will just hang in the while loop, making the Wx eventloop freeze up. I don't even have to run it to see that.

You must use Wx::Socket to run sockets in Wx. Otherwise, you need to put all your while loops into a separate thread, and at your level of programming experience, I doubt you are up to that hassle. Go back and rewrite your code using the example code in Wx::Socket

I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth.
