I thought he meant a class to read serial ports, but I don't know why that would be an a UI library. > I think Gilbert's looked at wxWindows a bit - Gilbert, do you have any > comments? > I haven't played with the C++ wxWindows, only the Python bindings for it. Regarding the Python bindings, I've found the documentation to be both out-of-sync with reality and just plain incorrect, thus making it really hard to program with wxPython (http://www.wxpython.org/). I've use PyGTK and PyQt. PyGTK is nice, easy to use, but of course has all the shortcomings of GTK ("why isn't such-and-such a variable publicly accessible?"). PyQt is nice, too, and Qt is very well documented. PyQT was a bit hard to build from source, but after that, it's easy to use once you understand how Qt works. --gilbert
