Hi Ward... Good Job ! I'm interesting to use it (or perhaps wnim...) What's the
way to change the default icon of the main window ? (and put one of mine...) -
Thanks :-)
> I am starting to write some beginner tutorial for wNim
It is great that there is some progress with your Windows GUI.
How do you manage memory resources? I have seen no manual free() in your
example code, so I assume that you have implemented finalizers like I did for
GTK, using GC_ref() and
A tutorial would be awesome! What language do you speak? It could be translated
with google translate, and then another member could improve the english if it
needs to.
I am starting to write some beginner tutorial for wNim in github's wiki page.
However, since English is not my mother tongue, I don't have any experience to
write a tutorial in English. I would be thankful for any help.
Here has some discussion about it.

`requires "nigui"` works portable

How can I speed up wNim projects build?
Hello.nim only with empty main Frame window spends too much time in every
build, maybe some options available to disable unneeded components and
optimizations.
How much work would it be to port wNim to other operating systems?
wListCtrl virtual mode support would be nice and needed in some cases.

Excellent :-)
Print dialog is added as you wish, and more (page setup dialog, printer
support, region and shaped window, high DPI support, etc).
One is a string and the other is a constant, so when its compiled I (think) the
constant will be converted to the colors value. I guess what is needed is a way
to convert the string into a constant on the fly, then you would only need the
string in the list. There must be a way to do that?
offtopic, in the table, there are very long list like "a":a ("wAquamarine":
wAquamarine). Is there an concise way to write it?
That's cool, yep add it to the examples I think actually seeing the colors
visually (why I wrote it) will always be better than just seeing the color as
text.
I like your idea. I modified it by using table to store the name and color.

I am considering to add this code to wNim's examples :-)
A little app to display wNim commonly used colors…. forgive any bad code, I
only started learning Nim a month back so feel free to change it, make it
better etc :-)
# Displays a window with all the commonly used wColor constants # Its only been
designed for full screen (1920 x 1080) use, it wil
wFontDialog tested, and its brilliant keep up the great work and don't
forget the Print Dialog ;-)
@Neil_H: Added several class, including wFontDialog. Check out the lastest
version.
@mratsim, @mratsim: Thanks a lot.

...because I'll do it for you ;)
I've pushed it to my branch and now we just need to wait and see if Appveyor
can successfull
You don't have much to do:
Add your package here:
[https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/blob/b50ae6817a8cf558eedbee5e405dd68a7d22edd8/testament/important_packages.nim#L6](https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/blob/b50ae6817a8cf558eedbee5e405dd68a7d22edd8/testament/important_packages.nim#L6)
If it requires
I agree, best GUI lib for Nim right now. (much better than nodeJS' Proton
Native, .NET WinForms and PureBasic Dialog to name some)
Excuse me, I don't know how to do or what to do.
Any chance we can get this covered by "important_packages"?
Great news, keep up the good work, thanks
I'm working on it.
Any chance we will get a dialog to pick Fonts and possibly a Print dialog?
Both of which are standard windows dialogs without both of these it wont be
really possible to create good windows applications.
Introducing a major update for wNim:
[autolayout](https://khchen.github.io/wNim/autolayout.html).
Thanks to nim's powerful metaprogramming features. Now wResizable (superclass
of wWindow) object can use autolayout module to parse [Visual Format
Language](https://github.com/IjzerenHein/autolayou
My bad, I am using 32-bit Nim only and never tested wAppbar under 64-bit. I
will be glad to receive your pull requests
Thanks for your comment. I am glad that someone like winim and wNim.
BTW, I cannot compile your code under x64 mode. It seems need some type
conversion. I can add some pull request later. (x86 mode, aka --cpu:i386 is
ok).
This is great thank you for sharing. :)
The compilation times with wNim are very long. How can I improve this?
Awsome !!!
@Ward, thanks to your absolutely amazing libraries (wNim and winim) I was able
to create my wAppbar component (pretty important part of UI for my current
project). It was interesting trip - deep in Windows GUI, in Nim and in wNim.
Actually it was much more difficult to deal with that specific Wi
thanks, but I will embed the grid in the GUI which has other controls, so I
think ZeeGrid is not the solution.
BTW, I think nim is still too young in its modules to fit my work. Maybe I made
an impatient decision to learn and try to replace python yet.
I have no plan to add it for now. However, [ZeeGrid](http://www.kycsepp.com/)
may be a solution.
can we use something like wx.grid or wx.lib.mixins.listctrl now for a
ms-Excel-like datasheet app?
Ah thank you. I just tried building some examples. The
[demo.nim](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/khchen/wNim/master/examples/demo.nim)
when compiled, results in 600 something KB exe. Nice :)
Thanks a lot for this and the winim libraries, a joy to work with :)
@Ward, Let me try. :)
@kcvinu You miss wPanel. See
[wFrame](https://khchen.github.io/wNim/wFrame.html),
[wPanel](https://khchen.github.io/wNim/wPanel.html), and examples.
@anta40 You miss --nilseqs:on. See

@ward, I have a question. In win32 api, we can easily fix the location and size
of a control. But in your guiLib, i cant set the button's size and location
properly. The button is somewhat docked in the whole window. i.e., assume that
i set the button size to (120, 50) and location to (50, 50),
@Ward, Unstalled successfully. Just tested your sample code. Great !. Compiled
with "release" flag and get an exe with 352 kb. A simple window. Now, i am
planning to study your GUI library as i am interested in Windows gui
programming. My previous experience with "win api & gui" is with FreeBasi
Awesome work! I will try it in my next project
Hi @Ward. Thanks for the awesome lib. Did you by any chance look at the Go
library that does the same (lxn/walk) ? I am wondering how feature complete is
yours compared to the Go one.
You can follow the instruction "Install without git" on github website.
@Ward, Thanks for the reply. I think, in order to use WM_CREATE, one need to
use CreateWindowEx and other related functions.
@Ward, Do i need to git installed in my pc to install this lib ?. My cmd says
that "Error : 'git' not in PATH" What to do ?
In wNim, all controls are subclassed internally, so you are right, you can
**use all type of events(aka windows messages) in all type of controls**. For
example:
let button = Button(panel, label="Button")
button.WM_LBUTTONDOWN do (event: wEvent):
# do something.
ev
examples/menu.nim demonstrate the usage of menu and menubar. wNim support menu
with icon even under Windows XP (If your are interesting, it deals with
WM_MEASUREITEM and WM_DRAWITEM in wFrame.nim).
If I recall rightly, winim didn't include menubar functionality.
Can you include that in your demo?
Cool.. ! Is it possible to use all type of events in all type of windows
controls ?
Nice! I'm a Linux user, but we definitely need some more love for Windows, too.
This might be far fetched, but has anyone considered using the common
functionality between this library and GTK+ 2/3 to make a cross platform
toolkit?
OH, and I'm loving the DSL for the layout.
Awesome!
Very much thanks!
Hello, everybody. Happy to introduce my new project-
[wNim](https://github.com/khchen/wNim).
It is a Windows GUI Framework based on my own
[Winim](https://github.com/khchen/winim) library. I started this project
because I wanted to test and prove the winim library. As time goes on, it is
