- I think you want the program GadToolsBox, which is used to create GUIs.
- GadToolsBox generates source code which doesn't need a special library.
- You can find GadToolsBox in dev/gui on Aminet.
-
- But if you're looking for a simple way of creating GUIs, take a look at
- the library systems Triton or BGUI (In dev/gui, triXXusr.lha, triXXdev.lha
- [XX = version] and bgui.lha). I haven't used BGUI, but I'm a registred user
- of Triton, and it's very simple to make goodlooking, fontsensitive GUIs
- which also adapts to the window size, thus allows resizing.
-
- Though I wouldn't recommend it, there's MUI too. While being undeniably
- powerful, it's slow and uses a lot of memory. And it uses cooperative
- multitasking (in a way), just like W*nd*ws, when any sensible system
- should use preemptive.
-
- This means, when you discuss GUIs, that instead of letting the system take
- care of graphical response to the user action (e.g. render a button so it
- seems to be pressed when clicked), the applation must do this instead
- (via MUI). If the program is working then, the user won't get any response
- to his/her actions.
