I was thinking about designing a GUI/GDI template
library.
The main ideas are:
1. Create a portable template abstraction for standard
GUI/GDI elements and dialog boxes.
2. Design an "iterator-like" interface.
3. The most important goal is design a natural
connection between STL containers and GUI elements, so
that STL data can be easily presented in the GUI
environment.
For example
template < typename IT, typename PhysicalGuiLayer >
class ListControl
{
public:
template < typename Filter, typename Format >
void push_back( IT& FirstIt,
IT& EndIt,
Filter& filter,
Format& format )
{
for( IT it = FirstIt; it < EndIt; ++it )
{
if( filter(it) )
{
PhysicalGuiLayer::list_add_item(
m_hnd,
format.get_list_item(it)
);
}
}
}
};
Does something similar exist already?
It seems like a challenging project. If anybody is
interested, let me know.
