I have been using wxErlang on some projects and I don't find it too<br>
hard. I make the GUI in separate processes and communicate with the<br>
application using regular erlang message passing.<br>
Using the wx_object, it is practically a breeze. It is like programming<br>
a gen_server. I even run the GUI processes supervised, to allow me to<br>
"let it crash".<br>
Also, you can use wxFormBuilder to do the layout and use the generated<br>
PHP or LUA code to figure out what you need to do in wxErlang. I suppose<br>
you could even write a parser to generate your erlang code from those.<br>
So I am curious. What is that you find so hard about it? And what makes<br>
it easier with C# or the like?<br>
Thanks<br>

Thanks Alex. I had thought of that but was trying to make this a pure<br>
Erlang application. This is most likely the approach I will end up<br>
taking unless I decide to pursue wxErlang, but that is probably a little<br>
unlikely.<br>

For what it's worth, you can always implement your view and controller<br>
in something like C#/F#, and your model in Erlang, and hook them up via<br>
TCP. Alternatively, there was an Erlang-toF# compiler floating around I<br>
believe.<br>

Has anyone tried using Windows Forms (.net) with Erlang? This would be<br>
in a similar fashion to way Python can use Windows Forms. On Linux I<br>
believe this would be Mono<br>
(<a href="http://www.mono-project.com/docs/gui/winforms/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.mono-project.com/<wbr>docs/gui/winforms/</a>). Basically I think I?m<br>
looking for something similar to Python?s ?import? and C#?s ?using?<br>
features. If no one has anything, any hints on how a feature like this<br>
might be implemented.<br>
<br>
Basically, I have been working on implementing genetic programming in<br>
Erlang and would like to provide a GUI front end. The WxWidgets front<br>
end that comes with Erlang is difficult at best. I?ve used several<br>
different GUI kits on *nix and Windows platforms but WxWidgets seems the<br>
most difficult for me. So I?m trying to see what else is available. I<br>
followed Joe Armstrong?s quest earlier this year and didn?t see where he<br>
came up with anything.<br>
<br>
Thanks.<br>
