Thanks Charles, so it has nothing to do with CPlat then? I was just
confused as to why it was mentioned in connection with Rev/CPlat and
thought maybe I'd have to look at it in order to evaluate CPlat.
BTW, I can't say I'm overly impressed with CPlat so far, for the
following reasons:
1. You have to download three separate archives and then splice the
folder structure together by hand.
2. You have to then muck around in CodeWarrior setting up Source Trees.
3. I did this and tried to build the sample HelloWorld project and
got g-zillions or errors since some files are missing.
So far I've spent about 5 hours on it and still haven't got "Hello World" up!
Contract this to RunRev:
1. Download one archive.
2. Double click the RunRev App.
3. Create your *own* Hello World (I did this ages ago).
Total time (without ever looking at RunRev before) 30 mins tops!
To me anyway, this looks like a no-brainer, I just can't understand
why *ANYONE* would want to build a GUI in CPlat (or any other C/C++
based framework) when Rev is available!
Alll the Best
Dave
Or rather, wxWidgets is a cross-platform, cross-language open-source
GUI development library whose Windows incarnation is called
wxWindows. Its Python incarnation is wxPython. Confusing. But it
works very well. Not, I hasten to say, as quick or easy as Rev,
anywhere near, though there are various attempts (Glade, Boa,
PythonCard, etc) to make a layer on top of it.
