Thread: [Dev-C++] Classes for Windows

SourceForge Headquarters 1320 Columbia Street Suite 310 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

Hi, is there any class package for gcc to write windows applications instead
the classical Windows API functions ?

bye, Esteban
est...@ho...

There is the MFC (Microsoft Foundation Classes), I have
never used it though so I am not so sure how easy it is. If
you want portablity (or even if you don't) wxWindows is a
GUI creation library (you get threads, sockets, etc) that
is not that hard to learn (I actually know this one). Also
there is GTK+ and QT (neither I have used, but I have heard
good things about them)

Hope this Helps

Based on my experience (and on www.trolltech.com 's info), Qt doesn't 
work with MinGW, only with MS Visual C++.

But here is an interesting link:

Daniel K. O.

  MFC comes with MS Visual C++.
I got a CD with a trial cersion of it, I tried once to compile the 
examples with MFC in Dev, copying the MFC directories (I haven't 
installed MSVisual), and at first attempt I didn't achieve it. However, 
I haven't tried too hard, so perhaps it is possible to use MFC with dev, 
but just copying the MFC dirs is not enough (perhaps you need copy some 
other items I didn't).

I think MFC requires a VC++ or VS license if you want to link against the=20
library.

Also, I don't think Mingw/gcc supports MS structured exception handling, so=
=20
your in for some trouble there.

To be used with Dev-C, the FLTK package or the wxWindows package should be=
=20
your best choice.

Or you could wrap up needed WIN32 API parts in objects (that is what=20
wxWindows did in the beginning).

Best regards
Staale
