Hello,

I have another quick question.

What do D programmers use for creating their gui's ? wrapped MFC classes ?

Also is anyone else having trouble with DIDE, I just downloaded the latest version with D compiler, but when I try to exit using the menu, it just bombs out I am running it on Win XP if this is any use

Sorry the new version should fix it (uploaded).  There are some other issues but I've put it off .

MFC is C++ which D does not have link compatiblity with, but there is Stewart Gordon Framework on the Wiki4d , their is GTK based DUI , and SWT port is in the works.

Have Fun,
Charles

Excellent nice work, it is unusual to find an IDE for a fairly newish language, unless it is a new language written by the big boys, who charge big bucks.

:) Oh yeah, I just got to reding about the no no with C++, which I guess will rule out wxWindows as well :(

Yes seen this looks good, but it is for Linux, which is good, something for Windows would be good, at the moment I am trawling through pages of info on creating them the C way, which if I can figure that out, it should be fairly possible to wrap the code for D? or have I misread this info in the D docs ?

I mostly do when coding :)
From some of the examples I have seen in the docs, I can understand these no
problems, it is quite similar to C, C++ and a bit of Java styles thrown in
for good measure, but not too much Java I hope :)

He has a Windows FrameWork which wrap Win32 API and has an Event Handler
type which seems good . At now it handle mouse event and WM_COMMAND but I
think it can expand .

If it die , please try later .
Btw, I hope that all D projects should be listed or hosted on a common place
such as dsource.org

I've looked over Stewart Gordons Framework before and was really impressed with it.  It's a nice low level framework and definitely what I'd use if I wanted to program close to pure win32 style things in D. It actually makes the dreaded win32 stuff look fun.

GTK+ and DUI are available for linux and Windows.
AFAIK GTK+ is available for other platforms.
(should be trivial to compile DUI for any platform
supported by GTK and D or gdc)

DUI is a good alternative if you are interested on
writing portable code.

Oh, no it doesn't. Just using it is not going to be as enjoyable as it could be in D. The idea is, use the same way that was to create wxPython. I heard that wxPython is generated using SWIG, and there exists a version of SWIG which generates a set of wrappers and imports which allows to import C++ libraries into D. You can find it here: http://andy.tadan.us/d (seems to be offline at the moment)

It only takes an extern(C) and translated declarations. Phobos includes recls which was ported from C this way.
