There is a wxWindows cross platform C++ library but it has a very big abstraction layer overhead on top of platform APIs. Also there is GTK+ whic= h has a win32 port and some linux native applications like gimp and xchat hav= e win32 native ports to windows. QT is also free for non profit usage, but only for non-profit. I see what you are saying: all windowing native issues are managed by > SWT or AWT, therefore the port library dosen't include and windowing > native functions. Right? I am not a UI person as well but as far as I know you are right. Porting layers for UI are huge and not trivial, and there is nothing about UI in th= e port library. -- Gregory Shimansky, Intel Middleware Products Division ------=_Part_1375_4902337.1144451301328--
