Need help for writing a simple GUI application

[yatin]

I want to write a very simple gui application i dont know from where to start.Using which libraries is swinstall or swremove is written

[curt larson_1]

for a simple gui, i'd suggest looking at
tcl+tk, perl+tk, dtksh, or if you have a web server, a little html.

where can i find dtksh and perl tk for hp-ux

[curt larson_1]

dtksh should already be at /usr/dt/bin/dtksh
and perl and tk along with several other progames can be downloaded from:
http://mirrors.develooper.com/hpux/

You don't say what language you want to write this in.

I agree with Curt that one of the scripted GUI tools will give you a feel for the way in which an application is built but if you want to get relly serious, they fall short.

If you are using "C" then install "GTK" which is a full blown graphics toolkit and is free.

If you are using C++ then I would suggest you try "QT" which is also free.

swinstall and the like look to me like Motif (lesstif if you want a free version). However, Motif is really going out of vogue nowaday.
