Personally I would go for a handle per widget (but I like native controls).
Uh?
painting is clipped for childs..
messages are passed the handle..
enable/disable are handled (disabled wil receive no messages)
Yeah, the LPTK author mentioned these as benefits as well.
But one handle for all is imo also an option if you want to paint and do
everything yourself (no native controls)
I don't understand what you mean with native / no native controls?
Both widget sets fpGUI and LPTK do all widget painting themselves. We
do not use native controls at all. The difference between the two is
that LPTK allocates handles per widget, and fpGUI per form (window).
The LPTK author and I are discussing the posibility of merging our
efforts and work together on one ultimate widget set. No point in
having two projects, striving for the same thing. We are trying to
work through our differences and see what is the better option between
the two.
NT-based windows have the same pools, but then for each process. The max
number of handles on NT (ran into it on XP) for graphics, windows, etc
is about 16k in total, with a limit of 10k for a process.
So based on those numbers it is pretty safe to allocate handles per
widget in a Windows platform. I can think you would reach that limit
easily. So how does X11 compare?
