EuGTK 4.8.5 has been posted, and this version has a number of new features (some untested:) including support for gestures and several new GTK widgets.

In addition, you can now design your user interface using Glade and need only a (relatively) few lines of Eu code to handle events. This Glade support is only experimental at this time, but I have converted a few of the demo programs to use Glade. These are in the /examples folder.

I'm (slowly) working on translating all 200+ demo programs to use Glade to build the GUI. Hopefully, I'll have them ready for an update about Dec 15.

There are a couple of advantages to doing things that way: first, you have a much easier task of making small 'tweaks' to the appearance, and second, the required Euphoria code is quite a bit smaller and easier to understand.

This combination of Glade and Geany is quite workable, sort of like Visual Basic or Delphi. (anybody remember Delphi?)

Hi Irv,

I'm using EuGTK to do the Linux interface for WEE, and got to wondering if EuGTK would work on OSX. Turns out it does work, with a few changes. First, install MacPorts, and then the GTK3 library with this command "sudo port install gtk3". That should eventually install the library to /opt/local/lib/libgtk-3.dylib. Next make this change to GtkEngine.e:

ifdef OSX then 
  constant libgtk = "/opt/local/lib/libgtk-3.dylib" 
elsedef 
  constant libgtk = "libgtk-3.so.0" 
end ifdef 
 
export constant GTK = open_dll(libgtk) 
    if GTK = 0 then 
        crash("Fatal Error: no "&libgtk&" found!") 
    end if 

I tried a few demos, with great success. I hope you'll include it in the next release of EuGTK. Thanks!

Thanks irv for the valuable (and massive) job you are doing
