Hello fellow FLTK users, I was wondering if there was already a desktop widget engine based on FLTK. If there is not, I would like to write one and contribute it to the FLTK-Apps project. It would use the FLTK GUI and widgets would be written in a combination of Lua, XML and various resource files (i.e. images) stored in PK-ZIP archives. My choice of those tools are as follows:
* FLTK: because it is fast and light, which is very nice for widgets * Lua: for the same reasons as FLTK, along with newbie-friendly syntax * XML: it is very good for declarative creation of GUIs * PK-ZIP: because it is very common and there are many tools to work with it Here is an example widget: the files would be stored in "HELLO.FLW" (for Fast Light Widget). ----- layout/layout.xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <widget width="400" height="400"> <button name="button1" width="400" height="400" /> </widget> ----- script/main.lua function button1.on_click () alert "Hello World!" end ----------------------------------------- What do you guys think? If you guys like it all, I will start working on it in my spare time. Thanks for your time, - Luiji _______________________________________________ fltk-dev mailing list fltk-dev@easysw.com http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk-dev
