[haXe] Announcing nGUI

[Lee McColl Sylvester]

Hi list,

I just thought I'd post a thread on the nGUI module I'm currently 
building. It's in it's very early infancy and has been for some time due 
to my tight schedule. However,  I figured others would probably like to 
help out as it would be very useful for haXe developers.

nGUI is a native GUI platform for Windows and Motif based on the Tecgraf 
IUP controls library. The package currently supports textfields, 
multiline textfields, buttons, frames, lists, dropdown lists (editable 
and static), menu's and even flash controls (though communication with 
flash movies is currently not available). My hope is that this package 
could be a very usable GUI platform until something better comes along. 
I wouldn't mind scrapping this project one day in favour of a wxWidgets 
port, but it's beyond my skillset at present.

Anyway, take a look at the demo :

and let me know your thoughts. If I get enough interest, I'll set up a 
repository. What I really need is someone who'd like to manage the Linux 
compilation / bug fixing as well as people interested in finishing the 
haXe classes that map the C code. Most of the necessary C code is 
already in place.

To get the demo working, just copy the ndll to a command line accessible 
directory and run the dr.n file using the neko app, making sure the 
test.swf file is in the same directory as dr.n.

Enjoy!

Regards,
Lee
