I've had better luck with V under Windows than V under RedHat 5.0 for some odd reason (some of the built-in X dialogs, for instance, file selection, misbehave). The biggest drawback to V is that the widgets available are currently limited (no multi-select comboboxes, no trees, and some limitations on creating lists on the fly, IIRC), but for simpler programs, it's an excellent framework to work with. > I thought that was still the case when i read V's page: they say > that Windows support is still missing. > > Maybe that was just a misunderstood, but i'd like to ask your opinion > about it. As of V 1.15 and 1.16, it works with both Win16 and Win32, at least with MS Visual C++ (1.52 and 5.0, respectively), and I have compiled a program I wrote with both (and, for that matter, Linux/X11). V is slightly persnickety on data alignment and pointer sizes in Win32, but the distribution comes with project files for MSVC and Makefiles for Borland C++ (I don't know which versions). There have been consistent and reported problems mixing V with the Cygnus windows stuff, though. I don't have details, since I haven't tried it myself. -- Mike Phillips, msphil@widomaker.com Home Page: http://www.widomaker.com/~msphil/ - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
