Does anyone have any news or information about the current state of DWT?  It doesn't seem to have moved forward very far, and last I checked, there were sizable chunks of it unimplemented.

I'm shopping around for D-compatible windowing toolkits, and so far DFL is the only one that seems to be close to complete.  I'd love to have something that's portable outside of Win32, and MinWin seemed to fit the bill here - but Ben's site looks like it's down.  WxD has a restrictive license, and as was mentioned earlier, Harmonia is out for the count as well.

Alternately, I may have to resort to looking at (*gulp*) C API for this instead. :(

Out of curiousity, what in the wxWidgets license
is stopping you from using wxD in your project ?

Anders, thanks for the reality check.  My sincerest apologies if that looked at all like FUD - I've used WxWindows before, so I'm actually quite happy that you took the time to bring it over to D.

I looked into wxWindows a very long time ago, and was convinced that it was strictly LGPL licensed.  I now understand that it has an exception that makes the license non-viral enough for static linking to a proprietary or even a project under a completely different license*. The verbiage on the wxd site clears this up considerably (thanks).

That is, unless I'm completely mistaken?  :)

(* IMO, this could be clearer in the license text with some qualifying statements in the "WxWindows License", but I have been known to be rather dense when it comes to legalese.)

No problem, glad we cleared that up. There are other problems with
wxD and wxWidgets, but the license shouldn't be in the way I hope.

Some examples might be under the GPL, but that's explicitly stated.
(i.e. only applies to those applications, and not to the library)

We recently had a discussion regarding DWT in the poseidon forum (see http://www.dsource.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1900).
But, I don't know if Kuan Hsu is trying to reach Shawn and/or Brad to enable him to merge his updated DWT into the trunk.
