Content of This Project

• The Tutorial shows how to start using this marvelous GUI library.
• The Demos section show you all demos using this GUI library.

Notice

Using this library requires you to use C++ source files directly in

• The Release folder for Vlpp, Workflow or GacUI.
• The GacGen.exe if you prefer to use XML to build your UI.

All other files are for library development only.

Content

This GUI library provides the following features:

• Develop your GUI using pure C++, Workflow script, XML or even JavaScript (under construction).
• Cross-platform abilities.
  • for Windows: Release repo
  • for Linux: XGac repo (beta release)
  • for macOS: iGac repo (beta release)
  • for running in Browser using WASM: (2.0)
• Rich control library. Container controls supports MVC and virtual list mode.
• Control template system. You can write your own.
• GPU acceleration.
• XML resource supports.
  • You can use the provided GacGen.exe to generate multiple XML files with binary resources (images) into a compressed binary format.
  • This program will also generate C++ code behind for you. You can fill event handlers (but we suggest you use MVVM and Data Binding instead) in generated C++ files.
  • If you update your UI, GacGen.exe will merge your modification in C++ code and modification in XML together to generate new C++ code behind. Your update will still exist.
    • NOTE: You will see a very obvious mark USERIMPL(/* ... */) in the generated code. Here is where you want to add your code. All your modification outside of these places will be discarded on the next GacGen.exe run.
• MVVM and Data Binding.
  • You can define interfaces that required to build your own MVVM pattern in XML and GacGen.exe will generate the C++ interface declaration for you.
  • You can also use Workflow expressions in Data Binding and statements in event handlers (instead of writing C++ code in code behind).
