re gui application frameworks for windows in article apr cimlinc uucp bharper cimlinc uucp brett harper writes hello i m investigating the purchase of an object oriented application framework i have come across a few that look good zinc has a platform independent resource strategy not too important for me right now brett harper cimlinc com just a thought on resources it is very important if you do use a multiplatform toolkit to check on how it uses resources i have used glockenspeil commonview under motif and os i wrote a resource converter from os to motif but it really wasn t too easy especially the naming scheme in motif you cannot rename controls widgets with windows you can call the ok button id ok in every instance this doesn t work for motif you d have to call it dialog ok and motif expects a text string rather than a number so your constructor should know how to convert a define into the proper resource identifier i d check on how the toolkit expects names and that if it does use resources that is uses resources for all platforms you intend to port to by the way i would never use commonview or glockenspiel for anything alex alex colburn image analysis facility university of iowa colburn tessa iaf uiowa edu
