on wxWidgets... (or other GUI tools)

[Moosader]

Does anyone have any experience with wxWidgets, or any other GUI tools? I've barely played around with it but wasn't able to get anything up and running. I intend to play with it more once I have more free time, since I want to use it with MusuGo v0.5.

Also, is it easy to use it with SDL and/or OpenGL?
(I am debating using SDL+OpenGL with MusuGo eventually, but I'm not sure if that would be overkill or not)

[Moosader]

Also; I may rename MusuGo, as it's pretty similar to Musagi, a music editor/synthesizer by Dr Petter.

I dont know, but dont ask MDK, cause he blows at it worse than a Katrina.

For rapid GUI development use Java + swing.

See avansc's massive creaming of MDK in a Swing vs. wxWidgets competition.

Ehhhh, I kind of want to stick with C++

wxWidgets is very good. I've use it for anything GUI I need(and its great for Cross platform stuff)

Qt is pretty good, they've recently gone LGPL.

I prefer GTK+ (or GTKmm for C++ interface.) Throwing OpenGL in is simple.

[Moosader]

GTKmm will apparently only work with UNIX type systems. I need something cross-platform.

I think I'll check out Qt and wxWidgets for now.

Where did you hear that?

One of the major advantages of gtkmm is that it is crossplatform. gtkmm programs written on other platforms such as GNU/Linux can generally be transferred to Windows (and vice versa) with few modifications to the source.

gtkmm currently works with the MingW/GCC3.4 compiler and Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 or later (including the freely available express editions) on the Windows platform. There is an installer available for gtkmm on Microsoft Windows. Refer to http://live.gnome.org/gtkmm/MSWindows for instructions how to use it.
