Hi All,
Is anyone (else) working on the
Cocoa NIB UI/XML --> Windows resources
problem?
i.e. developing the UI in Cocoa NIBs/XML,
and then converting those xml files to
Windows (and motif) resource files (so that
your Cocoa NIBs can be a cross-platform
UI description source).
(Aside: being able to compile C++ & ObjC on
Windows side is possible in GNUc, but not
currently in VC++, where most of the windows
people live; so actually using the ObjC
code is not the (current) issue, but rather just
the UI stuff (with its basic functionality
converted to C++; of course, this may restrict
how cute one can get in ObjC UI routines)).
I have read the discussion on wxWidgets and
swing/java etc. We want to develop in Cocoa NIBs,
and then allow the Windows guys to use those
source nibs to generate the Windows UI code/rez files,
rather than use such toolkits as the previous (or Qt).
I'm happy to share such a converter (when we
finish it) with the group, for those who might
be interested.
I've started to dissect the XML Cocoa code; I'd
just like to make sure I'm not reinventing a
headache. It's not hard, just tedious.
-Robert
