I don't have *any* windoze gui design background, and it's not on my
priority list either atm. Just as i started with win3.11 api coding, win95
came along. Not that doing windoze gui coding is bad, i don't have time,
and i am very glad other people do have it at the top of their priorities. I
hope one day to take advantage of their work.
In the meantime, i use mirc as the gui for most of the windoze programs i
write for myself, since they are for me, and don't leave my lil world here.
Mirc allows windows that doc or undock, fully resizeable, separately
taskbar-able, blinking-if-active-able, mouse aware, bitmap or charmap-able,
sortable, easily scriptable popup control menus, scriptable, etc., it's really
a great gui. There are defaults, or you can program every little bit that
win32lib requires. I realise this is not for everyone, and hopefully, Eu will
have a default gui like mirc or Dialect, cause i can't send out applications
with the instructions to download and register mirc first,, altho i spose it's
possible to send out application.bat, gui.exe in Dialect, and dowork.exe in
Eu.....
