TwinForms: A WxWidgets Form Designer in C++ Builder

<< < (2/3) > >>

SkyIDE:
If TScintilla plays nice with this and depending how much it depends on Win32 API, I might be able to port SkyIDE on Linux otherwise there is QT Scintilla wrapper. I wonder if QT can be used in conjunction with wxWidgets?

Gothi[c]:
wxWidgets uses native controls (on linux it will use GTK, motif or even xlib) on windows it uses the win32 api, etc,...
QT draws it's own controls, and thus doesn't look integrated into the OS.
I don't really see no reason to use qt when you've got these wx controls working in bcb...

I think, for portable code, instead of using TScintella, you shoud look into using wxscintilla
. It should probably work fine with bcb.

There is a wonderfull cross platform example of wxWidgets + scintella in the open source Code::Blocks IDE. (http://www.codeblocks.org/)

SkyIDE:
Oh I like the sound of that! Thanks Gothi[c] and yes I've heard of CodeBlocks but I have never used it. If I go with this, there will be a separate version of SkyIDE which will be 100% open source, well I don't think I will have a choice but anyway I support Open Source 100%. SkyIDE isn't open source for personal reasons.

I just finished setting up my newly restored hard disk image and I just installed BDS2006.

Gothi[c]:
hehe, don't worry, i just mentioned codeblocks is open source so you could look at it's source code to see how they integrated scintilla and wxWidgets. (since code::blocks uses both)

you DO have a choice, the wxWidgets library is licensed under L-GPL with an exception stating that derived works in binary form may be distributed on the user's own terms. See http://www.wxwidgets.org/about/newlicen.htm for details.

SkyIDE:
Ohh I see, I thought it was pure GPL, thanks :)
