Version 16 of wxTcl

Updated 2005-08-24 01:54:10

What: wxTcl

 Where: http://www.multimania.com/awaken 
 Description: The wx is a new GUI extension to Tcl, based on wxWindows and
        wxGTK.  Its intention is to provide a developer with an extension
        able to provide a native look and feel, contemporary looking
        programming constructs, AND still be able to operate within a normal
        Tcl and Tk application!
        The developer has discontinued development of it, but the source
        is available from <URL: mailto:[email protected] >
        if someone would like to continue work on it....

RLH -- Very cool!

Lots of examples should be created...

RLH 2005-07-09: Is someone going to pick this up as a project? Wx is a really good toolkit and it is part of every other dynamic language project you can think of. It would be a shame to let it "die".

escargo 11 Jul 2005 - Just wanted to point to the Wx Widgets home page [L1 ]. It would be interesting to know how well SWIG would gobble up the Wx Widgets code to produce an alternative binding that Tcl could use.

Maybe it is easier to make a binding to the wx-c.dll of the wx.NET-project on [L2 ]. This static library of the WxWidgets also exists for Linux and MacOS.

escargo 11 Jul 2005 - It would be interesting to know the performance and complexity tradeoffs of the different methods for binding Tcl and the Wx Widgets. (I know that SWIG needs certain wrappers, but I don't know what the wx-c.dll binding would require.)

RLH - Along those lines, if we could go that route would be to add Tcl support to wxGlade [L3 ] and have a nice UI builder as well. The wxGlade folks just need someone knowlegable in Tcl and wxGlade (probably more of Tcl would be a better help).

VK 12-jul-2005 While interesting ideas indeed, lack of sources is surprising. May be it is possible creating SF project, and making everyone who is interesting to be able to participate? Personally, I hardly can spent many time on this, but I can bother organizing a project on SF.

RLH 23-Aug-2005: Is anyone interested in working on this?
