LibUI is a portable GUI library for Windows, Mac and Linux.
Now, Rafał Jopek is developing a wrapper for this LibUI in Harbour called HBUI. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic ... S7mwTjt2p0
I am sure, if this library is developed in full, we can also make a wrapper for this wrapper using HMG syntax to HBUI syntax there by our applications can also be made for Windows, Mac and Linux.

GUI library for Harbour
East or West HMG is the Best.
South or North HMG is worth.
...the possibilities are endless.

Re: GUI library for Harbour
That was my first thinking... but... since it is in a very early stage of development, a full compatibility could not be possible for a lot of time.Rathinagiri wrote:I am sure, if this library is developed in full, we can also make a wrapper for this wrapper using HMG syntax to HBUI syntax there by our applications can also be made for Windows, Mac and Linux.
On the other hand, an 'HMG-like' syntax wrapper, for a basic widget set, could be easily done in short time.

Re: GUI library for Harbour
Exactly how I have thought of!
But, is it easy? Is it worth?
Can you throw some light on that?
As I have seen that LibUI is also getting developed. Tree and Table are developed now.
LibUI.js is also being developed for web.
Hope all the dots are connected!

Yes... imagine how much time we should wait to get advanced functionality as we have on top of WIN32 listview control... maybe sometime in the future...Rathinagiri wrote:As I have seen that LibUI is also getting developed. Tree and Table are developed now.
I'll take a look at that...Rathinagiri wrote:LibUI.js is also being developed for web.

One of my biggest mistakes was QT, thinking that the time for Linux desktop and Mac had arrivedRathinagiri wrote:But, <...> Is it worth?
IMHO, the only certain multi-platform thing right now is HTML/JavaScript.
Anyway, an HMG layer on top of LibUI could be fun
