We've found wxWidgets (http://www.wxwidgets.org/) to have pretty good
support on PocketPC, with the added benefit of running on Windows , Mac
and Linux. We are using the DialogBlocks to edit the UI.

I'm after a bit of feedback on PalmOS to PPC porting. We've written a
PPC version of one of our apps before, but last time we just re-wrote
it using .NetCF, which had the drawback of being painfully slow, and
didn't have any shared code.
This time I was thinking of using MFC, and trying to push as much code
as possible into device independant C++ classes, with other classes
dedicated to a DAL (mainly for IrDA, Database Abstraction, and other
such things) therefore being able to share a majority of code between
Palm and PPC. I guess the nastiest part of this porting project will
probably be the UI code, because I figure it will still have to be
written twice.
I'm after opinions on whether MFC is the way to go, or should I be
looking at another 3rd party framework. Are there any frameworks
which lend themselves to Palm-PPC cross platform work?
(Note that we already have a very large PalmOS codebase in C/C++, so
AppForge or other RAD-style cross platform development tools aren't
really an option.)
