Hi, I want to program with GTK library, but I don't know what language works better with it or even there is any diference. Regards.

Actually, I have been wondering the same. I've seen notations as GTK, GTK+, GTK-- etc., which, supposedly refer to the type of language used. If I understand correctly, plain GTK is C, GTK+ is some sort of object-based C and GTK-- is C++? Can someone explain this, or point at some document explaining this? And experiences? What would be the best choice coming from Qt? Regards, -- tinus.

Now I'm confused... object-based C?

A general term used for bottom-up programming in C. You work with objects, but without the traits of object orientation - inheritance, encapuslation and polymorphism. The language itself offers little to nothing to help, but you can use macros and coding techniques to get a passable object based environment. Anyone with the misfortune to have done any serious work with X/ Motif will recognise the idea. --

GTK+ and GTK refer to the the same thing. See http://www.gtk.org/ GTK-- is a C++ interface.

GTK--, I would imagine, but it doesn't get nearly as much attention as GTK+ or Qt. - -- James Oakley Engineering - SolutionInc Ltd. joakley@solutioninc.com http://www.solutioninc.com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFAiW7P4U2uQswGyDcRAjNyAKDWEVkpr3P1iymyJgFvSmNfACF+QQCggl+N 09vgUgWdUqC5vI2/ZTuZz1o= =1zuS -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
