Re: [Boost-users] offtopic: std C++ / STL / boost-friendly UIframework?
I looked at your examples but think that you can abstract better. I don't think one should have to use sendmessage for example. Not that I do much .net dev, but I did find that winforms was the easiest ui framework I have seen. I think applying c++ and boost idioms to a winforms inspired api would be well received by many ------Original Message------ From: Felipe Magno de Almeida Sender: To: boost-users@lists.boost.org ReplyTo: boost-users@lists.boost.org Sent: Sep 18, 2008 1:33 PM Subject: Re: [Boost-users] offtopic: std C++ / STL / boost-friendly UIframework?

Hi,
This is a bit of an offtopic question, but I wonder if there are any / if there will be any standard C++ / STL / boost friendly UI frameworks?
I'm developing cppgui. It has some widgets, and only works for win32 for now. http://www.assembla.com/wiki/show/cppgui It doesn't have any documentation, but it does have some examples. I find the interface *very easy* to use, but it is still quite incomplete. I have a few code for gtk+ but it is not working right now, I will do a rewrite of the gtk+ support for the lib in the near future. [snip]

There's a SendMessage in my examples? If it has it is probably a mistake, could you point out?

The lib is meant to be used as native for any platform it is in. So .NET wouldn't quite fit I believe.

I'm in the car atm, I will find the example when I get home. As far as winforms, I didn't mean write another .net only ui, that would be a waste as there is already a good one. I meant that it would be wise to implement a similar architecture to winforms applying modern c++ and boost idioms where possible. I think you recognize the same thing I do, and that is that it is a huge waste to adopt a library such as mfc, qt, wx or gtk as they implement so much more than just gui components.

Thats why I've considered fltk. Unfortunately its very pre C++98 stylish. Porting fltk to stl/tr1 and boost might be a good bet. -- Maik
