    ... not just today. Just thought I'd share it with you.

    Agreed. Qt is better. And WTL even better (for minor apps).


    "When you have made evil the means of survival, do not expect men to remain good. Do not expect them to stay moral and lose their lives for the purpose of becoming the fodder of the immoral. Do not expect them to produce, when production is punished and looting rewarded. Do not ask, `Who is destroying the world?' You are."
    -Atlas Shrugged, Ayn Rand

        Back when I was doing C++, I liked wxWidgets. Problem is, they don't seem to have advanced it much in the last 7 years (yes, that's when I sold my soul to Managed code).

            Hmmm - you didn't mention Qt - they must worry you re: VCF :-)

              Does it works with Vala[^]? I'd like to give Vala[^] a try, preferably on WIndows!...

                  Vala? Gack that's GTK GObject crap, no way does it support it. There's no need, as the VCF is written in C++. Vala only exists because of the insanity that is the GObject C API and the associated kludginess in using it.

                    Actually Qt is a really great framework. It's the only thing that really compares, and in some cases outstrips the VCF in the C++ world of frameworks.

                        Well I just stumbled upon it yesterday. I noticed it enable the developer to use a beautiful C# like syntax/API (I'm a C# fanboy, you can guess), yet it "compile to plain C and can be linked to executable with little dependency (instead of this huge runtime one)). That's what I like! Anyway, just trying to spred the word, I'd like to see, one day, a Windows native language (i.e. something which produce plain executable with no dependency) but still using a high level clean language similar to C# (as opposed to C++)

                                Great point! That is how everything should be built IMHO. What is stopping me from using a bunch of OR Mapping tools is that they impose design.
