Mine! Except I haven't written it yet ;-) Just kidding, but I do have a fairly good Win32 GUI library but I haven't ported it to D yet. Its on my long-term TODO list. Sorry I can't help you just yet. -- Derek Parnell Melbourne, Australia http://www.dsource.org/projects/build 17/04/2005 9:18:41 PM

Screenshot so far http://www.terrainformatica.com/screenshots/smileui.png. :) It got a name: "Harmonia" or Harmonia framework ( Harmonia as Phobos and Deimos was a kid of Ares/Mars. BTW: This guy was so productive.... ) It has only win32 port so far but it is highly portable: it uses around 30 functions which use underlying OS resourses and they are located in separate native package in four files native.application, native.graphics, native.exchange, native.window. All native functions use 'native' prefix, e.g. nativeSetCursor(CursorType ct); Architecture and main goals: 1) Clear and classic class hierarchy (close to initial Java AWT) 2) Capture/bubble event propagation schema ( used in HTML event model http://catcode.com/domcontent/events/capture.html) which allows to create extremely compact and clean event handling. 3) Builtin compact and fast (in fact very fast) HTML engine. HTML used as universal layout manager, renderer and resource definition framework: e.g. dailogs, tooltips are entities defined by HTML. 4) Themeable - means that rendering style - colors, fonts, etc. are strongly separated from interaction and logic code. On the screenshot is a rendering of Harmonia default "Pathfinder theme" (themes/pathfinder.d, inspired by color gamma of shots taken by Mars Pathinder crawlers) 5) It does not use native OS widgets. Everything: menus, dialogs, controls, etc. are under the Harmonia control and are subjects of themeable styling. It is windowless framework, means it is use only OS toplevel window frames. Everything inside is "harmonised". This approach is highly usefull for creating modern web style (but lightwight!) UI and in games. Stay tuned. If somebody is interested in it right now - let me know - I'll provide a link to our SVN server. At this stage it is nice to have someone who familiar with MacOSX GUI programming stuff. There are also some basic widgets left e.g. grid control. If somebody will want to try himself in this - drop me message.

Here is the demo I've got so far http://www.terrainformatica.com/screenshots/HarmoniaDemo.zip It contains exe (374 KB - full framework including HTML engine, libpng, libjpg, zlib) and main D file (attached). Screenshot of the demo I've published in previous post. Symptoms: on one of testing machines sometimes appears "black screen". In one second screen restores. Might happen after exiting from the app. Whould be nice if someone could try it - is it mine or just video card? Andrew.

I'm eager to test these out, Shawn. But the site is too slow to download anything from. Good to see such impressive improvements to DWT, though. You certainly took DWT the rest of the way. Congrats! -JJR

This example app is a sample of "CloudGarden's Jigloo SWT/Swing GUI Builder" for Eclipse. I ported it from java to D using DWT. But not very consummate. The Tree control displays chars in a wrong way and refuse mouse click. The bitmap mask failed and came with a white background. And the app is not stable, sometime cause an "Access Violation" error.... Actually, the DWT project is too big. Development and maintance are not easy. There is a long way to go. But I think this is a begining we can write simple DWT apps. Maybe brad can help us merge the source to SVN server. Shawn

Does DWT allow you to natively compile SWT code without the dependency on the Java VM? -Andreas "Shawn Liu" <Shawn_member pathlink.com> wrote in message news:d3vl3k$ao2$1 digitaldaemon.com...This example app is a sample of "CloudGarden's Jigloo SWT/Swing GUI Builder" for Eclipse.

No java VM. No SWT code, but DWT code. All java files of SWT are translated to D. The API name is identical (Some getter/setter may be changed to D properties in the future)
Apr 18 2005
Of course. So DWT is not a binding or wrapper, but a translation of the SWT source code to D source code?

Cross-platform: I believe DUI is the most developed of them, but whether that means it's better than MinWin I don't know. Win32: SDWF is quite a decent one, at least for my purposes http://smjg.port5.com/pr/d/sdwf/ (Watch also the digitalmars.D.announce space for the next week or two....)

You may be interested in the Crystal Widgets Library at some point in the future. CWL is a project BlackCrystal is working on to basically make the equivalent of the JDK for D except very modular and extremely easy to use. Its not out yet though; it wont be for a while. Just thought I'd take the time to mention it :) -- Joshua Cearley BlackCrystal Software "Making dreams reality"

Equivalent of the JDK? That's the DMD package, surely? Stewart. -- My e-mail is valid but not my primary mailbox. Please keep replies on the 'group where everyone may benefit.

No not the standard library. The JDK gives you a lot of stuff in the library such as GUIs, some nice drawing stuff, and a few trinkets like compression streams, etc. Thats what CWL is going to be, a toolkit you can take modules out and use (or the entire thing if you want) so you could build anything from a 3D Game to a business app with extreme ease.

How does one tell which parts of the JDK library aren't part of the Java standard library? Stewart. -- My e-mail is valid but not my primary mailbox. Please keep replies on the 'group where everyone may benefit.

If that's the case, then the DMD package _is_ the equivalent of JDK. I.e. JDK (J2SDK, whatever the current name is) consists of the Java compiler, related tools and Java standard library; the DMD package consists of DMD itself, related tools and D standard library.

I was talking about being the JDK feature wise but... apparently this has springed a weird discussion... -JC
