Don't feel stupid - it's not like this is widely tested or anything yet. Not to mention you come from a VB background, not C.

Not sure about that - it compiles fine here so I guess it's just your compiler being a little more verbose. I'm guessing it's a warning not an error as compilation seems to continue?

That is one of the new __() macros. Your system doesn't seem to want to use const char* __("String Here") in place of a wxChar* wxT("String Here").

Again, compiles fine on Windows XP and Slackware 9 here. What compiler/libs etc do you have? My Slackware box is running gcc 3.2.2 and glibc 2.3.1
