It's wonderful - until you read it to the very end and the dream is shattered.
Too good to be true? Or an idea that should be pursued?

Maybe joke but not difficult if the greats really decide to meet. I am hoping on that :)

Well...

Beyond the joke...

Some of the persons mentioned, had developed commercial GUI libraries for Harbour and such products become their mean of livelihood. So, is fully reasonable, that they have not interest on developing a free competitor. I'm ok with this.

Some others, has their own (different) ideas about how a Harbour GUI library should be and considering that them donate their work to the community, is fully reasonable that they want to do it "their way".

Maybe nobody here remember this, but by 2001/2002 some of the persons mentioned, worked together in "HBGUI". A multi-platform GUI for Harbour. It worked and achieved basic functionality. The project stalled because they were not able to agree about some design things. AFAIR (please, correct me if I'm wrong) Antonio Linares and Alexander Kresin were part of that project. Sadly I have no copy of the code.

My decision at that time was that, if the this project progressed, MiniGUI was no sense at all. Surely I would have become a collaborator in samples and documentation areas.

It almost happened :)

And...

I guess that, if an 'official' Harbour GUI existed, it could be very similar to Alexander Kresin's HWGUI.

It is multi-platform (Windows and Linux) fully OOP, very light and efficient. I like it very much.

It is more Clipper alike (ie: support @GET with VALID, WHEN, PICTURE,etc.).

For those not knowing it: http://www.kresin.ru/en/hwgui.html

Well the commands looks more or less similar to MiniGUI of Grigory, I see

Code: Select all

INIT WINDOW <oWnd>
    	 [ MAIN ]
    	 [ MDI ]
    	 [ MDICHILD ]
         [ APPNAME <appname> ]
    	 [ TITLE <cTitle> ]
    	 [ AT <x>, <y> ]
    	 [ SIZE <width>, <height> ]
    	 [ ICON <ico> ]
    	 [ SYSCOLOR <sysclr> ]
    	 [ BACKCOLOR <clr> ]
         [ BACKGROUND BITMAP <oBmp>> ]
    	 [ STYLE <nStyle> ]
    	 [ FONT <oFont> ]
    	 [ MENUPOS <nPos> ]
    	 [ ON INIT <bInit> ]
    	 [ ON SIZE <bSize> ]
    	 [ ON PAINT <bPaint> ]
    	 [ ON GETFOCUS <bGfocus> ]
    	 [ ON LOSTFOCUS <bLfocus> ]
    	 [ ON CLOSEQUERY <bCloseQuery> ];
    	 [ ON OTHER MESSAGES <bOther> ]
    	 [ ON EXIT <bExit>]
         [ HELP <cHelp> ]
         [ HELPID <nHelpId> ]

HMG is a fork of MiniGUI, they are very very very similar. By the other hand, HWGUI is a very different thing.
