Hi I had always been looking for a general purpose GUI building program. The easiest task is the command-line wrapping program, because the switches and their options are limited.
I once came across such great program that ideal for such case -- you throw it some (xml based?) data and it can build a nice gui, a perfect tool for GUI wrapping for any command line tools. The problem is, I've forgot what's its name and where I found it. because I was having trouble with the AutoOpts, a program from the autogen package that standardize the command-line parameter build (for C, java? and shell). It "completely automates the process of handling command line, environment and config file options, including usage text, man pages, and the invoking section of an info doc". Today, I came across another good command-line wrapping program -- GGUI. http://www.panayotis.com/ggui/ General Graphics User Interface is an effort to produce a common graphical user interface for any command-line program. It uses a wizard-like input front end to collect the information needed. It then calls the desired program automatically with all the necessary options. The user is able to point&click on various options and select them in a convenient way. In order to create a new user-interface, a user doesn't need to know a programming language, since there is a graphical editor for new GGUI "scripts". However, it requirs Jave 5. So I'm reluctant to give it a try. So, now I am coming back to my original question -- Do you know any good data-driven GUI builder that at least do a good job for command-line parameter wrapping? thanks a lot tong -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
