Been using tiOPF since around 2002-2003. I initially ported tiOPF to Kylix 3 and then later (4-5 years ago) to Free Pascal. Initially I also ported the GUI components (object aware components) in tiOPF to Lazarus LCL. But due to inconsistencies and differences between GUI frameworks and Form Designers, I halted that effort. Instead I implemented the Model-GUI-Mediator (MGM) design pattern to make standard GUI components (no matter which GUI toolkit you use) "object aware" without having to create descendant / customized components. A few years later, with help from Michael van Canneyt, we improved the MGM implementation even more - making it much easier to use. MGM included with tiOPF now supports VCL, LCL and fpGUI Toolkit. tiOPF is a very stable and flexible framework with over 1600 unit tests run daily under Linux and Windows servers. It also supports 32bit and 64bit system. tiOPF has been used in commercial software since 1999. Work on tiOPF v3 has just started with the main goal of making it Unicode compatible. tiOPF might not be the easiest framework to learn, but I guess that's one side effect you get with power and flexibility. Knowing and understanding bit about design patterns will be beneficial in learning tiOPF. Other than that, there are lots of documentation available and news archives of the last 8 years. For more information about tiOPF, have a look at its website and join its newsgroups for any more questions regarding it. http://www.tiopf.com -- Regards, - Graeme - _______________________________________________ fpGUI - a cross-platform Free Pascal GUI toolkit http://opensoft.homeip.net/fpgui/ -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus.freepascal.org http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
