July 09, 2012 Which GUI toolkit for a simple app? | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
I would like to put together a small standalone GUI application (statically linked). I would prefer a simple API that won't take much time to learn. Years ago I used FLTK on a small C++ project and would like to find something simple like that. It looks like DWT might fit the order, but I can't tell if it is very actively used or maintained. What would you suggest for a small library that is easy to learn? Thanks! --Chris |

The statically linked thing might be more difficult. GtkD is the best cross platform solution. You might consider binding FLTK (create a C shim, and call through that) if that's what you want.

Sometimes I get contributions, the last one was just two days ago: https://github.com/d-widget-toolkit/org.eclipse.swt.win32.win32.x86 > What would you suggest for a small library that is easy to learn? I think DWT is quite easy. -- /Jacob Carlborg |

Posted in reply to Jacob Carlborg | I think I will try out DWT then. Thanks for the info and updates! |
