Dear All,
I'm looking for C++ GUI toolkit which is free and standard.
I'm currently using the Fox toolkit.
The features I'm looking for are:
-Platform independence
-Reasonable users support
-Some guarantees on the toolkit llifetime (it is important that the project
will be under development for the years to come)
Thanks

TCL/Tk has bindings for Ruby, Python, Perl, & doubtless others. It might
have a binding for C++.
Why are you using C++?

Why are you using C++?
The main reason is that I'm developing a synthesis software. For
performance reasons C or C++ are the most commonly used languages.
It woould be nice to have a graphical user interface and I want the
whole thing to be integrated within the same language.
Why should I use another language?
Thanks

Take a look at FLTK. www.fltk.org
You are the second person that suggest me to use FLTK. The only think I
don't like is the use of callbacks instead of messages (singnal and
slots in Qt terminology). I know that Qt is becoming a standard in the
commercial world and I was wandering if there is somenthing similar from
the free world.
I'm using WxWindows now and it seems good.
Thanks to you All

Qt relies on MOC, IIRC, which is a strap-on addition to C++ providing
"signals and slots" messages. This is yet another example of folks using C++
for GUI code and finding themselves re-inventing dynamic typing. But I
suspect I could have re-invented it without writing new C++ keywords.

Write unit tests on all your code, including GUI code, and see about using
the Model View Controller pattern. It might give you what "signals and
slots" was giving you.
But props for demanding real Free Software.
Why should I use another language?
Folks sometimes adopt a technology because "everyone else was doing it", not
because they thought thru the options. So I request they reveal the thought
process. I'm leery of your "performanc e reasons" - the GUI hardly toasts CPU
cycles these days. But "integrated within the same language" is always a
good one.

Yes, Qt.
Qt is available with a free non-commercial license that allows you to write
open-source software, freeware, etc. and, I assume, software for your personal
non-commercial use.
Now, as it's been said many times before, GUI toolkits are OFF-TOPIC for this
newsgroup. This newsgroup is about the standard C++ language, not about
compilers or libraries or newfangled languages or operating systems.

That's "free" as in "beer", not "speech". There's a slight (but utterly
off-topic) difference.

Guess, that answers my question, but isn't "Tkinter was there first" a
very bad answer? :) It is kinda ugly too, so I wonder why it can't be
replaced? Or maybe another GUI...

Standard Library. That is, QLT can interoperate with STL, and you can
convert back and forth between std::string and Qt::QString, etc.

Hi,
I use the Visual C++ .NET 2003 Standard Edition which doesn't include an
optimizing compiler. But Microsoft released the VC++ 2003 Toolkit
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/visualc/vctoolkit2003/) which provides an
optimizing compiler. Is it possible to replace the original "Standard"
compiler with this one ?
How could I do this ?

The "optimization" field in my Project Properties window shows /O2 (in my

My BuildLog.htm file says "Optimization not available in Vis C++ standard
edition. This seems to imply that I have to buy Vis C++ Professional

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
