Partly because I am trying to become better with Erlang itself and partly out of stubbornness. I had looked at using a browser based GUI but for what I'm doing I really don't want (or need) to be too complicated. One of the other responses suggested using C# to create the front end and communicate with Erlang via TCP. I had thought of that as well, but decided to pursue using pure Erlang but have become stymied by wxErlang and its difficulty. Most likely I will end up pursing the C# (or similar) front end.</p><p style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"><br></p><p style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">Alan</p><blockquote type="cite">On December 6, 2017 at 3:04 AM Zachary Kessin <zkessin@gmail.com> wrote:<br><br><div dir="ltr">I had thought it would be an interesting idea to build a GUI toolset around Erlang such that each widget on screen was a process.

This would be in a similar fashion to way Python can use Windows Forms. On Linux I believe this would be Mono (<a href="http://www.mono-project.com/docs/gui/winforms/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">http://www.mono-project.com/d<wbr/>ocs/gui/winforms/</a>). Basically I think I’m looking for something similar to Python’s “import” and C#’s “using” features. If no one has anything, any hints on how a feature like this might be implemented.<u></u><u></u></p><p class="ox-20fc03f0dc-MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="ox-20fc03f0dc-MsoNormal">Basically, I have been working on implementing genetic programming in Erlang and would like to provide a GUI front end. The WxWidgets front end that comes with Erlang is difficult at best. I’ve used several different GUI kits on *nix and Windows platforms but WxWidgets seems the most difficult for me. So I’m trying to see what else is available. I followed Joe Armstrong’s quest earlier this year and didn’t see where he came up with anything.<u></u><u></u></p><p class="ox-20fc03f0dc-MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="ox-20fc03f0dc-MsoNormal">Thanks.<u></u><u></u></p><p class="ox-20fc03f0dc-MsoNormal">Alan<u></u><u></u></p></div></div><br>______________________________<wbr/>_________________<br> erlang-questions mailing list<br> <a href="mailto:erlang-questions@erlang.org" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">erlang-questions@erlang.org</a><br> <a href="http://erlang.org/mailman/listinfo/erlang-questions" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">http://erlang.org/mailman/list<wbr/>info/erlang-questions</a><br> <br></blockquote></div><br></div></div>______________________________<wbr/>_________________<br>erlang-questions mailing list<br><a href="mailto:erlang-questions@erlang.org" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">erlang-questions@erlang.org</a><br><a href="http://erlang.org/mailman/listinfo/erlang-questions" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">http://erlang.org/mailman/<wbr/>listinfo/erlang-questions</a><br></div></blockquote></div><br></div></div></div></div><br>______________________________<wbr/>_________________<br> erlang-questions mailing list<br> <a href="mailto:erlang-questions@erlang.org">erlang-questions@erlang.org</a><br> <a href="http://erlang.org/mailman/listinfo/erlang-questions" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">http://erlang.org/mailman/<wbr/>listinfo/erlang-questions</a><br> <br></blockquote></div><br><br clear="all"><div><br></div>-- <br><div class="ox-20fc03f0dc-gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div>Zach Kessin</div><div><span style="background-color: #ffffff;"><span style="color: #274e13;">Reduce project risk with training in Elm For web teams</span></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12.8px;">Skype: <span style="color: #274e13;">zachkessin</span></span><br></div><div><span style="font-size: 12.8px;">+972 54 234 3956 / </span><span style="font-size: 12.8px;">+44 203 734 9790 / </span><span style="font-size: 12.8px;">+1 617 778 7213</span></div><div><br></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>_______________________________________________<br>erlang-questions mailing list<br>erlang-questions@erlang.org<br>http://erlang.org/mailman/listinfo/erlang-questions<br></blockquote></body></html>
