Re: Newbie question (Mono)

From looking at the code, it seems that the "make a button" and get a (GTK+/Qt) button scenario is still a dream. If you have to say "make a Qt button" then it is pretty specific to Qt and KDE.

From my understanding, the MONO folks are writing things so that you can write an application on Windows that will use Win32 widgets on that platform but use GTK+ widgets when run on Linux.

It would be great if you could just specify Qt or GTK+ as a default on the Linux side and truly have one codebase to execute on all three platforms (Win32, Gnome, and Qt).

Does anybody know if this is being worked on?

The relevant API is called System.Windows.Forms, and is the equivalent to Java's AWT. The current plan is to get the Gtk+ and Qt bindings into shape before writing an API wrapper to access them via System.Windows.Forms.
