FEATURES:

• Environnement independant (will work with any library & Operating System & compiler...)
• Multi independant dialog at once with different inputs (with control on when these update)
• Totally C++ object oriented
• Windows95 look
• Includes a Dialog Editor which generate code by drawing menus / buttons in it! "A la VC++"
• Easy to use
• Tested intensivly plus has a system of asserts to catch common mistakes which helps the devlopment

(asserts that pop visually not those in assert.h which often locks you in graphic mode!).
When debugging you can also send usefull info to an ostream (ex: cout or a file).
• With examples which will help you learn quick
• Items included:   Menus, Buttons, bitmap/bitmapButtons, checkBox, radioButtons, textItem, textEdit, Sliders, GroupBox, Lists and TextBox
• Usefull dialog included: Alert and FileSelector
• It simply "kick ass" to put it that way! I am using it and I am glad of the simplicity and also the fact that I can port my apps to another compiler/platform with little effort.
• Totally free and full code given (gui.h, gui.cpp and gui2.cpp). Needed to compile with any compiler after all!

OPENGUI LINKS AND PORTS:

• The basic OpenGui package works on DJGPP and Allegro.
• I ported the lib to GLUT and . Since I finally convinced myself to go 3d I really felt that this was needed: GLUTGUI.
• JLIB: A port to JLIB which will run in MS VC++, Linux is under way... It is real cool to debug in MSVC++ again! (JLib's page)
• The maker of JLib is also designing a wealthy pack of real cool widgets be sure to check out his OpenGui page: JLib OpenGui.
• I've made package of extensions to OpenGui which can be quite usefull (dialogItems and Dialogs).

REQUIREMENTS:

Since it is an Open implementation there isn't really any requirements. If you want to compile the examples right away you will need DJGPP with Allegro or Glut with  with the files installed properly (glut.lib,  libs and the headers files in gl/...). On the other hand the package includes a precompiled executable (windows/dos32) so if you just wanna see how it feels you can run it right away with no hassle. The lib is made independly of the graphics/inputs functions that you will use. So you only need to define a instance of "libCalls" with your functions to replace the stubs and Open Gui is ready to go. Porting will be real easy and you don't need to relearn a new gui each time you switch arhitecture or graphic library. The lib as mentionned earlier is actually being ported to Linux and I got a working version in MSVC++. The port should be done soon it will be great!
