Is there a portable GUI (VCL look alike) that can be used both in BCB 6 and in Linux gcc?

If you still beleive Borland, the C++ Builder will be revised in Delphi IDE some time in (near?) future. (This issue is still "active" for last X years.) Kylix was a bit more unlucky; its problems were started at installation. It's installation problems never been solved officially, but thanks to 3rd party volunteers who published some patch utilities to fix it partially. Kylix performance (compared to zillions of other open source freeware tools for Linux) was not good. As a Borland user for very long time, I do remember that it was really exiciting moments when Borland was annunced their intention for Kylix. Since than Borland is on a very stable declining path to make its old users (I suspect if they have any new user) unhappy. I beleive Borland needs a serious change in its top levels. I do miss good old days of Borland with Phillippe Kahn. Quote: In what way was Kylix a fiasco? I haven't used it and am curious. Unfortunatelly Kylix was a fiasco and therefore the VCX.

It's somewhat MFC-ish in design, but it works on X Window, Mac OS X, and Windows, and it's actively maintained by a large group of people. Quite a few open-source and even commercial products use it.

Have look at: 1) GUI lib and compiler @ http://wxdsgn.sourceforge.net/ I've been following the wxDesigner progress over the last year or so and it is starting to look very promising. I'm actually considering producing a couple of production-level apps with it. I have yet to try to create my own custom components and don't know how easily this can be done in either wxWidgets or wxDesigner. Obviously it should integrate well with most any C++ class not tied to the GUI. Lightweight GUI component creation is the key feature that keeps me coming back to the Borland products. --- Michael McCulloch Back to top Ross Guest Posted: Sat Mar 19, 2005 9:55 pm    Post subject: Re: Portable GUI Check out http://wxdsgn.sourceforge.net/ This is what CBX might have been!

Oh you mean being kept away from a RAD C++ IDE that works! Yes I'm glad we were saved from that fate!! How much better it is to "pay" for a defuct piece of software. If you dont like mingw fine, use VC instead. http://wxdsgn.sourceforge.net/tutorial/wx-vc2003.htm I never took you guys as being blinkered but clearly its worse, you've got your eyes closed.
