As other have said, WPF and C# is the way to go for Windows GUI
programming, but you don't necessarily need to drop D. You
could write your interface code in VS and have it call your D
library via pinvoke (Platform Invoke). To make this work you
must mark your public D functions with extern(C). Read the
documentation on extern(C) and PInvoke.
Honestly, I don't know why more people don't do this. It really
seems to be like the best of both worlds, as C# + WPF is king
for Windows GUI and D is king for library development. The only
drawback I can think of is you have to expose your awesome D
library via a dumped down C interface.
Well, took me a while to get around to actually try this out due
to stuff, but this was the best solution at least for me. Thanks
Arredondo!
