Anyways, if hui is working fine, why scrap it? ;) I don't think there's a port of dldialog anyways. I'm probably going to make one to test it anyways. > Is programming in dldialog's scripting language preferable to Hui's > C/C++ and Tcl APIs?=20 Probably not, but the whole thing is written in C++, and there is a tcl-like language interface to create the dialogs. It's probably not preferable to our tcl language interface, but the way I saw it, we should integrate the C++ classes to our API and create a .cd.cc interface to the classes. We probably don't have to use the dldialog language interface. > Is dldialog's UI element selection comparable to Hui's?=20 I think it's actually better or comparable. There are 2 snapshots on the page that represent basically all of Hui's functionalities. > Etc etc. I think the main advantage is that we have more people working on the code. This is helpful to fix bugs and could even create interest in libh. ;) I think one other interesting thing is that it forces us to seperate libh's libraries from one another, thing which is not obvious right now.
