Greetings Cocoa developers!
Since late December 2002 I have been working on Cocoa port of the
popular wxWindows GUI toolkit. wxWindows is a cross platform toolkit
written in C++ that uses native toolkits to do all the work. There are
ports to Microsoft Windows (wxMSW), GTK+ 1 and 2 (wxGTK), Motif
(wxMotif), Mac Classic and Carbon (wxMac), X11 by drawing its own
widgets (wxX11 using wxUniversal widgets), and many others including
wxUniversal running on raw frame buffers.
Unlike other cross platform toolkits such as Qt or Java which draw
their own widgets and must attempt to emulate platform specific
behaviors, wxWindows wraps the native toolkit resulting in applications
that are virtually indistinguishable from real native applications on
any platform to which wxWindows has been ported. That's because, with
wxWindows, they are real native applications.
I welcome any Cocoa developers to come over to www.wxwindows.org and
check it out. At the moment, it is only available by checking out the
wxWindows CVS HEAD (cvs checkout -d
':pserver:email@hidden:/pack/cvsroots/wxwindows'
wxWindows). Instructions can be found in the docs/cocoa directory.
Much of the basic infrastructure is implemented, though quite a bit of
fill-in work is left to do. Still, there are a few design issues on
which I'd appreciate input.
Interested parties should join the email@hidden mailing
list. I'm looking forward to seeing you there!
-Dave
P.S. Special thanks to Scott Anguish, Erik Buck and Don Yacktman. Your
book was an invaluable development resource.
