Could use a library, a lot of those are cross-platform. They've been tweaked to
give as much performance as possible, from what I know of them; I usually just
use the win32 API for my gui management if i'm using c/c++.

Programming directly with the Win32 interface allows you a lot more
opportunities for optimization. It also, for all intents and purposes, binds
your software entirely to Windows so Linux and Mac hackers can't help you port
it to other platforms without tremendous headaches. Linux has a .Net
compatibility box which I'm told works pretty good. Otherwise, if you follow
good programming practices, porting to the other platforms is still easier than
going all the way down to the Win32 level.
Happy Hacking,
cdh
I'd like to learn Win32 but so far you seem to be expected to do a lot of
hand coding.

Subject: direction to take in creating new programs?
Hi all, I'm knew to the list, but take quite an interest in programming,
particularlly for windows, using a gui interface. HOwever, I have a couple of
questions.
1. What happen to the fruit basket demo project? Is it still somewhere on
the web?
2. Is it still advised, or advantagious to program in the win32 API? Most
docs these days seem to indicate using windos forms, and it appears that in my
tests, supernova/hal from dolphin doesn't like this environment.
3. Out of lua, python and ruby, what language provides good access to
windosfeatures, such as gui interface, comm automation, etc? Maybe java?
Thanks for any help that you can offer,
Arthur.
