Re: How to build GUI-based applications in D ?
thank you aberba ok, so this is useless to me. i want something fully functional stand-alone tools. i have no internet connection there. Don't worry, DlangUI is stand-alone: you only need the connection to download it, but not to use it nor to compile with. Dub will function without connection if you have already downloaded the needed dependencies. If you have no connection at all for the device you develop with, you can use dub add-local to register a package you have fetched manually.

thank you everybody for your time to answer my questions.

thank you Daniel.
i have tried Dlangui previously and had no luck. but this time i
could successfully compile my first app. now, i can say level
zero created.
i couldn't set control's width and height (Button widget) shows
error. maybe it works a different way.
i used the following code instead, but no effect.
// create some widget to show in window
auto button1 = new Button("btn1", "OK"d).margins(50);
button1.minWidth = 200;
button1.minHeight = 50;
button1.maxWidth = 201;
button1.maxHeight = 51;
also i couldn't compile dlangide. it shows error like every time
before:
D:\ashit\software\D Compiler\DlangUI\dlangide-master>dub run
Performing "debug" build using dmd for x86.
emsi_containers 0.5.3: target for configuration "library" is up
