Hey there!
"for sure"
Here we go (Higher in the list - higher my suggestion to
check):
Thank you for all alternatives I will start with Dlangui, as
it seems to be a good start.
After trying almost all alternatives I finally made Dlangui
work.
First I got dlangui cyclic dependecy error. I got the same for
fluid. I then realised you should not name the root dir same as
the product. I renamed dlangui to mydlangui and voila!
I have not seen any warning about this, but it might just be me
not reading all the fine prints.
Anyway I have a working gui. I play with it, and try to figure
out my next step in D.
p.s. Clude warned me, Gui in Windows with Dlang can be tricky.
On Windows DFL https://code.dlang.org/packages/dfl is great.And
it is execellent with its GUI designer (Drag & drop components)
Entice http://www.dprogramming.com/entice.php
dub fetch dfl and dub build dfl -a=x86_64 works smoothly ever
since.
And interop with win32 api within DFL is as easy as if win32 api
is integrated.
