D - Gui Programming

Hello,

I have another quick question.

What do D programmers use for creating their gui's ?
wrapped MFC classes ?

Also is anyone else having trouble with DIDE, I just downloaded the latest
version with D compiler, but when I try to exit using the menu, it just
bombs out I am running it on Win XP if this is any use

Sorry the new version should fix it (uploaded).  There are some other 
issues but I've put it off .

MFC is C++ which D does not have link compatiblity with, but there is 
Stewart Gordon Framework on the Wiki4d , their is GTK based DUI , and 
SWT port is in the works.

Have Fun,

Excellent nice work, it is unusual to find an IDE for a fairly newish
language, unless it is a new language written by the big boys, who charge
big bucks.

:) Oh yeah, I just got to reding about the no no with C++, which I guess
will rule out wxWindows as well :(

Yes seen this looks good, but it is for Linux, which is good, something for
Windows would be good, at the moment I am trawling through pages of info on
creating them the C way, which if I can figure that out, it should be fairly
possible to wrap the code for D? or have I misread this info in the D docs ?

 Have Fun,
 Charles


I mostly do when coding :)
From some of the examples I have seen in the docs, I can understand these no
problems, it is quite similar to C, C++ and a bit of Java styles thrown in
for good measure, but not too much Java I hope :)

If it die , please try later .
Btw, I hope that all D projects should be listed or hosted on a common place
such as dsource.org

GTK+ and DUI are available for linux and Windows.
AFAIK GTK+ is available for other platforms.
(should be trivial to compile DUI for any platform
supported by GTK and D or gdc)

DUI is a good alternative if you are interested on
writing portable code.

Oh, no it doesn't. Just using it is not going to be as enjoyable as it 
could be in D. The idea is, use the same way that was to create 
wxPython. I heard that wxPython is generated using SWIG, and there 
exists a version of SWIG which generates a set of wrappers and imports 
which allows to import C++ libraries into D. You can find it here:

It only takes an extern(C) and translated declarations. Phobos includes 
recls which was ported from C this way.

I've looked over Stewart Gordons Framework before and was really 
impressed with it.  It's a nice low level framework and definitely what 
I'd use if I wanted to program close to pure win32 style things in D. 
It actually makes the dreaded win32 stuff look fun.
