I've tried it a few times and it just doesn't work. The Windows common
controls are a complete and utter mess. Every one is different. There's no
consistency. Each uses a set of dozens of messages, notifications, styles,
structs and functions that are different, and incompatible with, all others.
A feature available on one control (vertical text justify for example) is
not available on another. You can't draw into any control at will. Some have
a discrete border, others have it as part of the client area. Etc. Who
designed this heap of rubbish?

I'm not surprised Swing does it that way, and my next attempt will use a
similar approach. Really, programming this stuff is not that difficult. All
my controls will use the same, small, compatible sets of messages and
features.

However I need at least the ability to create a top-level window, and some
very basic graphics capability; and there might not be an easy way to do
that on Windows 8 if all C interfaces are removed!

I can see myself dusting off my soldering iron and building my own hardware 
again in a couple of years...

The same that brought you Unicode and today's C++?

They are not removed.

Solder? There won't be boards that you can just snap-in whatever chips you 
want? Heck,who needs a board at all--SOC (System On a Chip)!

For non-production work, you would typically solder sockets, and chips would 
be inserted into those.

But it's possible that some components now only come in surface-mount forms 
that need special equipment, that would make things tricky.

yeah.

a long while ago, I had just written code to mimic the "look and feel" 
of the Windows GUI widgets on top of OpenGL.

mostly, this was since I was using OpenGL and the native widgets are 
kind of a PITA.

of course, developing a decent GUI API isn't really easy, and my own 
existing GUI stuff is still sort of a pain to use.

it is also a pain because what I am using it for now implies the use of 
a client/server GUI (where a socket may exist between the "client/user" 
and the "server" which contains the logic behind the UI). I haven't 
really gotten around to implementing this (or worked out exactly what 
the API is going to look like).

Isn't OpenGL way overkill for 2D? Or were you doing 3D stuff and textures, 
etc.? It would seem that all you'd gain with your approach is cross-platform 
capability, but in doing so, creating a dependence on another monstrosity. 
To me, it seems like just abstracting some platform primitives (or a bit 
higher-level) would be much less work than even just figuring out OpenGL's 
complexities. ?

xlib? Motif? ;)

I mostly do 3D stuff, but OpenGL works pretty well for both 2D and 3D stuff.

for many non-trivial tasks, it is still much easier overall than drawing 
pixel values into a buffer (although a pixel-buffer gives a lot more 
control, and for some tasks is easier to use and more capable than is 
using shaders).

well, except this is tied to Linux or similar.
technically, this is inside of a game, where the GUI would be integrated 
with the delta-protocol otherwise used for scene-graph delta messages 
(entity movements, ...).

theoretically, a GUI is basically just a small scene-graph with event 
messages thrown in, but the specifics get a little less obvious.


to some extent I had been using console-style UIs (via the in-program 
console), and have in a few cases implemented a subset of the VT100 
escape-sequences, but thus far they are mostly just used for changing 
colors and other things. also, unlike a real console, this system 
doesn't generally (by default) have a freely movable cursor, although my 
text-editor interface did go in this direction (by disabling/ignoring 
the usual command-entry prompt, and setting up another faux cursor).

note: the console interface is itself drawn using OpenGL (and uses an 
8x8 bitmap font).

my initial API was done similar to OpenGL, namely:
begin/end pairs and get/set functions (using handles), just with more 
strings (I took API design ideas mostly from OpenGL and the Win32 GDI, 
with a few misc ideas from GTK). this turned out to kind-of suck.

basically, begin/end pairs were used to submit widgets or forms, and 
typically forms or menus were modified by entirely replacing them (by 
begining a new form using the old one's ID-number), though some 
properties could be changed via get/set calls, which would be passed a 
widget-handle.


my more recent idea had more been based on the idea that widgets are 
basically structs (similar to "entities") which can be linked together, 
and linked onto "containers" or "surfaces".

in the protocol though, it will probably all just boil down to delta 
messages and handles though (so, any changed variables in the 
server-side structure are relayed as delta messages across to the other 
end, where they update the client-side version of the widget).
likewise, if the user interacts with the widget, a message will be sent 
back indicating this.

I haven't yet gotten to this though...

This is precisely why I ended up switching completely to Tcl/Tk around
the year 2000. I suppose Python would serve as well now.

Do you mean you actually programmed the rasterization of those things akin 
to what's in the books by Foley, Van Dam and others?

MS has been so faithful to Intel CPUs. Thus Ms  missed the OS dominating 
best time for cpus in the arm family.

Now android=LINUX +JVM and  IOS  from apple are  attracting
money away from the PC industry.

If MS wants to fight in other CPUs, how can MS does not chunk out a better 
C/C++ compiler for other CPUs  in the world?

If you were doing graphics twenty years or more ago, then this was quite 
common! (I think my first attempts with raster graphics were in '79...).

These days I would prefer to use OpenGL, a rare example of a well-designed 
API, and available for many languages! Including C, which allows bindings to 
be created for languages not officially supported (like mine..).

However OpenGL was never popular with MS, and was only grudgingly supported. 
Hopefully that will still be available, but probably stuck at some ancient 
version.

I did some graphics programming about 20 years ago (2D charting of realtime 
data), *but* I used the Quinn-Curtis Graphics Library with the "Microsoft 
Optimizing Compiler", woo hoo!. (Ah yes, Programmer's Workbench, Codeview... 
what a waste of time, LOL! Can't forget MS QuickC--lots of fun. I bet I 
still have the manuals. I'm sure I have all the TurboC, TASM and Borland C++ 
stuff. But I digress.)

I've peeked at it awhile ago, but don't remember if I liked it or not. I'll 
look at it again for sure when doing any graphics work. Also, though, I've 
heard that the latest DirectX APIs are damn nice. Have you looked at them? 
Not that you'd want to use them and give up cross-platform capability, but 
just to evaluate the API design.

Thankfully Microsoft don't need to directly support OpenGL. They only 
provide OpenGL 1.1 in the base Windows install. The version of OpenGL 
supported on Windows is down to which graphics card you have and what 
version of the drivers for said graphics card you are using.

So it really doesn't matter what Microsoft do in relation to OpenGL you 
just need to make sure you have a decent graphics card which has drivers 
that support the version of OpenGL you want to use.

That almost changed in Windows 8. MS wanted to make OpenGL a wrapper
around the DirectX API, which would have meant that OpenGL couldn't
provide any feature not available via DirectX, nor be any faster. In the
end, that didn't happen because of pushback from nVidia and AMD, who are
too big to be steamrollered, even by MS.

Ah yes, forces. In a limited view, there is DirectX and OpenGL. In a 
"slightly" expanded view, there is everything else. In a "slighty more" 
expanded view, there is a homeless man who can't make sense of such "unholy" 
acts perpetrated by those who have "risen to the top" (of the money 
machine), but wouldn't "code for food", nonetheless.

DirectX: Microsoft: "money is power, power is money, surely evil".
OpenGL: "Open Source". "Freedom (tm)".

Oh, and the homeless guy? Rust never sleeps, it just fades away.

Don't be fooled by Jacob's wild flailings. Get the info you need from the

The Win32 API is still available in its entirety in Win 8 (probably some 
changes as always). Metro apps only can access a subset of it because Metro 
apps are very high-level, sandboxed apps. Think of Metro apps like Java 
apps. At least think of them as being at some level more 
abstracted-away-from the Windows core. That's my take on it anyway. Don't 
take my word for it--go to the MS sites and learn all about it from the 
horse's mouth.

I didn't write that. Rui did. The way you clipped it makes is look like I

That is not true though. At least not any more than developing on prior 
versions of Windows. I mean, you can't use *just* standard C to develop a 
GUI app for Windows (unless you don't use the Windows APIs). If you choose 
to develop for Windows using MS's high-level frameworks (.Net or WinRT), 
then you have to accept the ways that MS provides it to you. If you choose 
to develop even higher-level *style* apps *based upon* those frameworks, 
then you just have to bite the bullet if you don't like the paradigm. 
Luckily, though, if you are a C or C++ programmer, you don't have to *stand* 
anything MS shoves at you--you can create or replace whatever you want with 
what you want.

no Win32 interface at all? Maybe I will have to switch to Linux after

You can still write console apps in Win8.

Win32 is still there, but just a subset of it is callable from Metro apps.

I really don't see the hullabuloo about Metro apps. Some 
applications/platforms fit the model, others don't. I haven't investigated 
it much, but Metro seems to be a smart phone GUI put on the desktop, which 
sounds like a very dumb idea. On a phone, or tablet maybe, but on a desktop? 
Surely that showing of that coffee table interface where one could move 
stuff around with their hands because the surface was a touch screen has 
something to do with this (read, Bill Gate's ego). MS seems to be just a 
bunch of propeller heads after the Win 8 UI fiasco.

But then again, the first thing I do after installing the latest and 
"greatest" version of Windows and after playing around with the "new and 
improved" GUI for a bit, is go looking for the same classic GUI I've been 
using since Win 95, so it may be just me. Heck, maybe y'all have abandoned 
your desktops for your smartphone ages ago, or don't even know what one of 
those desktop (computer) things is! I don't even have a smartphone. The last 
thing I want when I'm away from my computer, is to be away WITH another 
computer!

I got off the MS bandwagon of "new-and-improved" technologies early. The 
first incling I had of their strategy is when they came out with DDE and 
then everything in their arsenal had to have 'DDE' in the name. Then it was 
OLE. COM. MFC, .Net, WinRT, Metro... it never ends. I feel very lucky that I 
haven't spent much time on learning MS-proprietary technologies.

Further, if one has an operating system product line, and they have a 
paradigm they call "deskop apps" and another called "Metro-style apps", 
shouldn't users conclude that "desktop apps" are for desktop computers and 
that "Metro-style" apps are for some other type of computer and that an OS 
that presents itself in "Metro-style" is not an OS meant for a desktop 
computer? Does MS employ any analysts? If so, they should try using 
consultants instead!
