Hi Juergen Thank you for your help and suggestion. The product we are to develop will use C++ for developing language. It's purely new, also we lack experiences for cross-platform. So we prefer to use AWT. What we are consider is whether AWT is allowed to use in a commercial software. Can you give us some advises about corresponding legal issue? Thanks again! Best Wishes.

We use VCL because it is historical and it would be a lot of work to exchange it. A lot of things are missing like a layout manager, a graphical GUI editor, ... But if you plan new applications from scratch there are might be better cross platform toolkits available. It depends also on the programming language you want to use. I personally would consider to use Java. It's platform independent and the tools support is great. Take a look on the GUI editor of NetBeans for example. You can use our component model to use Java as GUI frontend and use C++ core components via UNO. It would be an interesting use case.
