I have been teaching pyFLTK this year and it's been great. I believe that Greg's table widget is available as a grid like object. In addition, there is a pysqlite module available for db stuff. Of all the gui toolkits FLTK probably has the shortest learning curve and of all the programming languages Python has the shortest learning curve. Put them together and you have an excellent RAD (rapid application development) environment. -- Robert Arkiletian Eric Hamber Secondary, Vancouver, Canada Fl_TeacherTool http://www3.telus.net/public/robark/Fl_TeacherTool/ C++ GUI tutorial http://www3.telus.net/public/robark/ _______________________________________________ fltk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk
