Please use wxWidgets
in [MFC]

From: Non scrivetemi on 10 Jan 2010 10:31 Please use wxWidgets, the multiplatform C++ class library. It's free, open-source and non-commercial. It's modeled after MFC but it produces code which can be compiled (using conditional compilation) into native code executables with the speed and UI look of the platform for which the compile is targeted. So the Windows executable looks like (and is) a real Windows program, the Mac OS X executable looks like (and is) a native Mac OS X program and the Linux executable is and looks like a real Linux/GTK+ application. It has been in development by a band of open-source programmers led by Julian Smart for over a decade (17 years to be exact)! So code in wxWidgets and your program will run on both Windows, Mac OS X and Linux, natively. Three for the price of one! And it's much easier to use than MFC. Dialogs and windows are easy to design using the wxFormbuilder WYSIWYG UI creator (open source and free). So prepare your software to be independent of platform yet still look 'native' and be prepared for the future. See http://www.wxwidgets.org for more information. (this has been a non-commercial presentation)
From: Goran on 11 Jan 2010 03:06 Oh, come on! Posting something like this here is off-topic and amounts to nothing but SPAM. People here are not stupid. We know about cross-platform toolkits. We also know better to know that there are bigger contenders than wxWidgets (that would be Qt) and that there are newer, quite possibly better designed ones (that could be Ultimate++). That is not to say that wxWidgets is somehow bad. It is to say that your post is bad, because it's a worthless plug. Go spew that at a more gullible audience. Goran.
From: Tom Serface on 12 Jan 2010 12:15 I don't think it's totally off topic since many people who frequent this board might be able to use this kind of product. I often plug products that I like (looks like you do too ;o) Tom "Goran" <goran.pusic(a)gmail.com> wrote in message news:b1e9eb9d-f257-4c9a-9ad4-2e6bd6382dfc(a)o28g2000yqh.googlegroups.com... > Oh, come on! > > Posting something like this here is off-topic and amounts to nothing > but SPAM. > > People here are not stupid.

Ultimate++ doesn't have a Mac OS X port. I do this plug once a year and it's not spam. Spam is a commercial plug which wxWidgets isn't.

Discussions of alternative frameworks to MFC are not off topic (I've discussed Qt here a number of times), but I don't title my posts "Please use Qt" and lamblast all others as you have done. -- David
