Best GUI Library

[killman]

I just want to see FP's opinion on what the best GUI library.

I personally would vote for GTK+.

EDIT: How do you make a poll, I set the option when I created the thread, but nothing showed up.

[esalaka]

Qt is nice.

[Soda']

Qt is pretty much the best

[Quality Control]

What is the difference between the two?

[q3k]

Qt is way too bloated for my taste.

[del]Xcb[/del] GTK forever! Or if you just want to run on Windows, use WinAPI if you prefer C-style coding and MFC if you prefer to have everything objectified.

-snip, this is a dumb argument-

sorry if you consider something with more features bloated. gj.

[Siemens]

WinForms

[Jookia]

wxWidgets. Best of all worlds.

[q3k]

My /usr/local/qt4 directory is around 350MB. How is that not bloated?

Also, +1 for wxWidgets.

[Pirate Ninja]

wpf lol.

[{ABK}AbbySciuto]

XUL, although that's a lot like the aforementioned WPF.

I'd say wxWidgets for an actual GUI library.

[NorthernGate]

Command-Prompt: clear, concise, and intuitive.

[bladerunner627]

I enjoyed wxWidgets. I've tried qt but it seems a bit more difficult to get something going quickly.

[Z_guy]

My vote is on Qt.

lmao because you can't call a framework bloated because you don't include the entire framework into your project

Yet, for some reason, .Net which has a comparable amount of feature doesn't weight 350 MB. Right?

yeah I don't think you understand what Qt or .net is

Please enlighten me, oh all-powerful Soda.

.net is pretty much an entire suite of shit for writing windows programs in various languages. .net is designed to run on windows, and only through community projects is SOME support added on other systems.

it is far from a "gui library"

windows forms or WPF is what you PROBABLY mean(because those are the .NET "gui libraries")

Qt is a framework that is used for cross-platform gui development, but also includes several libraries to make life easier if you so choose to use them. QtScript provides a simple embeddable scripting option, and it's got some extra stuff for network/database communication(which extensive applications would tend to require).

btw .net is huge

and tbh that number isn't even accurate because the .NET framework takes advantage of other windows tools such as directx

Same goes for Qt.

[Reg]

wx All the way.

[butre]

tcl/tk

except it doesn't but w.e that is why I snipped my first reply because it's p dumb to argue a point against someone who can't construct a retort on something they know nothing about

Yes, of course. Don't want to burst your little bubble :v:.

I think you mean [url=http://cpptk.sourceforge.net/]C++/Tk[/url]. Who the heck uses Tcl?

tk originated with tcl.

The proper name for the library is Tcl/Tk, regardless of what bindings you're using

[QUOTE=Siemens;26371798]WinForms[/QUOTE]

this.
deal with it

[ShaunOfTheLive]

I have a certain nostalgia for dialog boxes made with Win32 resource files (RC). They have a pretty simple syntax, and can design them in LCC-Win32 and then fine-tune them with a text editor.

[Ortzinator]

If you're using .NET then WPF owns.
