I am using wxWindows for OpenThorn, my UML case tool . I started writing OpenThorn in MFC, but couldn't figure out how to get MFC to do what I wanted. After 2 days of frustration, I decided to look into wxWindows and got it to do what I wanted in less than 2 hours! wxWindows is actually similar to MFC in that it uses message maps, but it has a far superior framework. MFC doc/view is just plain broken. Chris Hafey PS - Yeah I know OpenThorn hasn't been updated in a year. Someday I'll get back to it...

Another good pointer is http://www.vxcl.org/ Does any body work on VXCL?

I've had a look at it, but never had time to get stuck in. So what do you thinkof it on the whole? I was thinking of using it as a stepping-stone to Linux, or at least make code a bit more portable. Giles Forster
Hmmm.... I am thinking of developing a hello world for X, so my first X program will be on VXCL. ;) I dont know exactly when I'll get the time to do so but, with-in-a-month, is a wild guess. Giles, please tell when would you start using it. Farhan

Sure. I'm going to have a look at wxWindows while am at it. You learn something new everyday. The problem is, I think there are quite a few good libraries out there, but finding out about them is the tricky bit. Its nice to know what peoples experiences are with them. Giles

Hey I hate to toot my own horn, but I have been working on a cross platform framework and have a few articles here on how to use it. Look for the Visual Component Framework (http://sourceforge.net/projects/vcf). It currently works on Win32, but it shouldn't be too hard to port it over to Linux or Mac (I had someone working on the Mac side but he got too busy at work). Of course your always welcome to chip in if you like ! Check it out and let me know what you think
