I like GTWXW the best (work of Marek Paliwoda,
BTW how is he these days?). Purely based on
source code and downloadable package I've seen
(I didn't use any of these yet). Unfortunately
this is no more made available to the public.
Big loss IMO.
Can you giv e more information regarding GTWXW (intresting see source
and screenshoot)
All information I have is from the homepage
of the project, Google for HbWxW. There are
some nice screenshots there.
Win / Linux are supported. Syntax is OOP.
Many ppl seem to like HMG (Harbour Mini GUI),
but I don't know much about it.
No oop, no linux
Quiet mauture syntax similar but non compatible with fivewin
Thanks. Missing Linux / OS/X support is bothering.
FW compatibility and OOP layers are probably doable
as an addon, but these are largely unimportant to
me at least.
Unless there is a clear and agreed direction on
which free product is the "best", maybe we
should just present an alphabetically sorted
list of all known products, one list for free
and one list for commercial solutions. But this
should IMO be extended for all other 3rd party
products, not just GUI libs.
Harbour userbase seem prefer minigui
So I heard too.
For web apps this is indeed different though, since
there is no any standard for those yet, and the whole
thing is relatively new anyway.
There is an open source framework for web and gui is Visual WebGui
that
was designed to be the next VB6 for the web. Simple to program, simple
to deploy. With a full WinForms API and design , compatible with mono
but also silverlight
Visual WebGui multi-layer, multi-language architecture that allow
develop for desktop and web with productivity
Visual webgui have a different approach to web application
development,
specially designed to simplify building highly complex applications
like
Outlook Web Access (OWA). Visual WebGui makes it possible for
developers
to create applications that were previously developed only by the "big
guys"

if harbour will create a extensibiled GT for visual webgui (GTVWG) it
can be a very good move
for me this is a real dream
Well, this is a .NET based commercial project, and I think
they've completely misunderstood the concept of web development,
as they are trying to emulate the fullest Windows GUI
paradigm (with all its faults) inside a web-browser.
It would be nice to see what would happen with such
a Visual WebGUI app, when you try to open it on an iPhone,
or god forbid, on an Opera browser running on a Nokia phone.
Moreover it probably needs Silverlight on the browser-side,
which is instantly excluding anything outside Microsoft's
business territory.
SilverLight looks like ActiveX controls revived for the
.NET ("managed" !) world, also to try to beat Flash.
I better like lighter and naturally web-like apps.
Brgds,
Viktor
