RE: [Vxl-users] Large Dialog Box

[Galup, L. E (Research) <ga...@cr...>]

one could also write it using qt.

qt claims to be a multi-platform, 
easy-to-use-and-learn c++ gui toolkit.

I presume you are trying to make a dialog box using
vgui.  Because vgui runs using lots of GUI toolkits
the dialog box is very basic and there are no options
to improve the layout.

The way things are currently, if you want to write
something that looks really nice then you will almost
certainly have to use MFC (presumably) directly and
make a nice MFC dialog box in the normal way (with the
dialog box builder in VisualStudio??).  Of course,
this will not be portable to other platforms.

You can either: 
- use MFC to make the whole of your toolkit and just
use vgui to make the OpenGL area you add in.
- call your special MFC dialog box when you need it
and use vgui to write the rest of the code (then you
will only need to re-write the dialog box to port to
another platform).
- fix vgui-mfc so that it looks better! (or at least
let us know how you think it could be improved).
- one other possibility might be to make a text
tableau with your text in and add the tableau to the
dialog box.
