Re: [Csgl-users] CsGL and Mono

Hi Michael!

Sorry, that I answer so late.

Why does GsGL need Windows.Forms?
I thought OpenGL is platform-independent. Why does ist then need a special 
GUI?


>I had asked this question to Lloyd on the sourceforge forum

And dou you have the link to the thread in the forum, where your question 
stand?


>and he said that it might be possible to use the GtkSharp library to
>do windowing instead of the Windows.Forms,

But why need CsGL a special GUI for Windowing?
With GLUT you can in C/C++ program platformindependent - and you don't need 
any GUI.
Why do you need it for CsGL?

I think, it is the job of the CsGL-Team to create OpenGL-Bindings, so that 
it run on every platform.
And it is the job of the GUI-Teams (like Gtk#, Qt#, etc) to integrate it in 
thier GUI.

Thats the same like in C/C++:
OpenGL is with GLUT platformindependent. And if you want, you can integrate 
it in your Gtk+-, Qt-, FLTK- or Fox-programs.
But why is it so hard unter C# ?

For this I have now asked the Gtk#-Team under
http://lists.ximian.com/archives/public/gtk-sharp-list/2002-December/000627.html
why it is so.

>Maybe, Lloyd can shead some light on the issue.

I hope so.

Thanks.
