I was thinking of using Boost.Statechart as a state machine to manage widget states in my wxWidgets application. Depending on what menu options the user picks in my program, certain buttons on the main window will be enabled or disabled.

Have you looked at Adobe's Adam engine?

Yes, I have looked at it. I have determined that I don't like it at all. I realize the language itself allows button states to be intrinsic to the design phase of the UI, but the overhead of integrating ASL with a platform layer looks like a nightmare. Additionally, the ASL scripting language is VERY complex and unintuitive. It has the largest learning curve I've ever seen in any other library.

While this does indeed count as a solution to my problem, it is not the "kind" of a solution I am looking for. Thanks for the reference, though!
