Hi there.
Sorry for my poor English first.

I just started D language and looking for GUI library and designer.
I found some.

GUI libraries from D wiki and
Designers are Entice or Bud.
but it seems that there's no further development.

I found few threads and they are all stories of 2 or 3 years ago.

So I'm wondering if you can recommend some GUI library and designers to start with. For the text editor, I'm currently using gVim.

Best regards.

I think DWT is a good GUI library, but it doesn't have a GUI designer. Since DWT is a port of the Java library SWT you could use a GUI designer that supports SWT and then port the code to D.

Sorry for off-topic interjection. I've recently started to use DWT and it's pretty nice, but I have a question - is file drag'n'drop supported in DWT (as in drag from windows explorer to application window)? My biggest problem was what to do with event.data for drop event - it's of type Object and needs to be somehow cast so string[], I did cast(string[])(&event.data[0..1]) but obviously it didn't work...

Thanks. I'll check that. Have a nice day! :)

There should be a helper, somewhere, in DWT for handling casting between strings and objects. There's "stringcast" in "java.lang.wrappers":
