Cross-platform GUI widgets?

2003-09-16 Thread Michael Hipp 
What do the big projects like, say, Mozilla Firebird or OpenOffice.org 
use to create their cross-platform GUI widgets and controls? Firebird's 
are beautiful and look native on every platform I've seen.

Thanks,
Michael

According to the MozillaFirebird page, they are now using GTK2.  No clue abouty
OO.

There must be more to it than that. Unless GTK2 now runs on Windows.

GTK2 does run on Windows, but that's not what they did.  They wrote a 
set of libraries as part of the Mozilla core that abstract the differing 
UI calls.  That way their XUL (eXtensible User interface Library IIRC) 
code always looks native.

Ok, so it's a home grown solution (and a very impressive one), not one 
of the pre-made cross platform solutions like, say, 
http://www.wxwindows.org/ .

Thanks.
