Suppose I create a model in D and would like it to support a gui
written in another language such as Qt C++ or WPF .NET.
Can anyone think of an efficient and very easy way to hook up the
"bindings"? The gui doesn't need to be updated more than about 30
times a second and it should run in it's own thread.
I would think a simple message queue would work that uses
commands to tell the gui that value X has changed. The gui then
checks the queue and updates the values visually. This should be
quick except one needs to deal with potential multiple changes of
the same value so the queue is not flooded with useless
changes(changes that are not able to be displayed due to the fps
limitation).
Does this seem relatively viable? It would need a rather minimal
api and should be relatively fast?
The other problem of the gui updating the or changing the model
is a bit harder but commands could also be used. Seems like most
of the work would be done in creating the bindings to the model
so the view can act on them. I imagine a simple syntax in the gui
design could be used to bind view to model actions.
Any ideas on the subject?
