Now,D is very cool for System Programming,but it's not cool for Database Programming. It needs some controls such as Calendar,DataTimePicker, DataGrid,DataView etc. DataGrid can display a lot of data ,such as Chinese chars ,and filter them,DataGrid's 'Data Source' maybe the DataView,DataView is not be visible,and it can save a lot of data,and filter them.Now,only DWT can work,but it's not easy to use.So D need some cool control do it,DGui,DFL...,who can do that better ?

FrankIf somebody was to design (fully) how a set of controls for D would look and act like I may have a go at building an OpenGL based GUI toolkit. It was part of why I gave up on DOOGLE. Don't have that skill set. When I say design gui controls I mean, everything from buttons to list boxes. And every single pixel, color the lot.

FrankThere are at least 10 GUI toolkits for D, some are more advanced and have all the controls you listed above, some are more oriented towards gaming. I suggest you take a look at DWT, it has all you need and more.

I do a lot of work with SWT, and I am a big fan of rich IDE toolchains, but I never felt much compelled to use an SWT GUI builder. They are good for beginners, which can get started easily, but, at least for SWT specifically, once you become fairly knowledgeable about it, its easy to create UI controls programmatically. If one is using more complex grid layouts, it can be trickier to get things right at first when just doing it programmatically, but I don't think the productivity difference is that significant. I think the key thing here is that GUI builders became less important when the internet became so massively popular. In the early VisualStudio/VB days, the GUI builder was very helpful since it would allow one to get started building some controls easily, whereas if you had to do all programmatically, and look up the API for that, it could be tricky to find a way to do what you wanted. But nowadays its easy to search the internet for examples, snippets, etc.. SWT in particular has loads of those. -- Bruno Medeiros https://twitter.com/brunodomedeiros
