window based programing in HPUX

[mooi-kuan]

Hi Forumist, just wonder how window/GUI based program was written in HPUX/UNIX. I heard about tcl/tk but would like to know some other ways. Is there any visual C++/BASIC available for HPUX ?

Thank you.

I would recommend Perl/Tk. Check the following link.

Hi mooi,

Here are some more:

Free:
The X API (http://www.x.org)
http://www.gtk.org (GIMP toolkit)
http://www.perltk.org (Perl/Tk)
...

Not free:
http://www.ilog.com (Ilog Views, JViews)
http://www.klgroup.org (XRT, JClass, ...)
...

Most of commercial GUI builders are sold with an integrated development environment.

Best regards,

Fred.

I recommend tcl/tk. Its free, its easy to learn and very powerful. I started using it about 4 years ago, and have created all kinds of apps, some that interface to C programs, on multiple platforms like Mac, WinXX, Solaris and HPUX. It can be easily moved to different platforms and can even be embedded into an html page (using plugin). Ok - I just think it's way cool...

You may also want to look into the Qt API (http://www.troll.no/) -- there is both a free and a commercial version available (However, the free version does have some licensing restrictions on what types of software you can and cannot develop with it).
