Oops, if it wasn't container.cpp it was parent.cpp; I forget which file right now

Oh, and one other thing I forgot to mention about documentation: the nature of this project requires me to balance what I can get behaving identically across platforms, what I can …

Not only does libui not yet do drag-and-drop, but drag-and-drop is sufficiently complex enough that simple libraries are probably not going to have this out of the box. That being …

It does this for "Releases", but not for entire projects. And if someone starts browsing files, then you'd have to worry about what that status is at the commit for the file you ar…

(Hint: I am trying to make libui's in-code documentation match the Go style, which no existing C-based documentation tool seems to do...)

Except that would make uiPi a long double, whereas every drawing API in libui just takes a double. Now as to whether the drawing APIs should use long double instead of double, I do…

Also the design of uiGrid was directly based on that of GtkGrid.

I don't know, but I do know I'm in the middle of making sure any non-static symbol name in libui either has a prefix of ui[capital letter] or uipriv[capital letter] to at least ame…

I assume you are using the Windows version. The slowness is a bug that I have to fix; there are several issues about it, and a few ideas of how to fix it. You can comment out some …

I do intend on this being a serious offering; it just wasn't an offering I was ready to make yet when people jumped on it. What have people not yet figured out about cross-platform…

Judging from the comments here, it appears I have completely failed at properly getting across just how early this thing is in development. I've since updated my README with a stat…

Also (for the benefit of the rest of HN) s/as/but/ — I had problems on Windows, and someone is proposing a solution I just need to merge in once the mega-PR that added it and a bun…

No, the data grid has problems on Windows, as that code is being contributed by someone else. I already have it on macOS and Linux, and have for years now... Hopefully soon the Win…

libui only wraps around GTK+ on Unix systems. On Windows, it uses the native Windows API directly. GLib is a utility library; it provides things like container types, filesystem ac…

Just a quick note: I will now be putting announcements and updates on the README.

It needs to be written because when I put that note down the API wasn't stable. Now that it's mostly stable I can start writing the documentation, which should be very detailed. Th…

That's planned, yes. (I have to do it anyway, because in most cases it's the print dialog that gives you the printer device cntext...) This is also why it's uiDrawContext, not uiAr…

Benjamin Otte recently added uxtheme.dll support to the CSS engine and I've already seen a few screenshots of the win32 theme using it to okay effect. I wrote a patch to add OS X c…

What trouble?

I haven't implemented that, and I'm not sure how I would add support for implementing that in a portable way without creating a complete networking abstraction interface either... …

I'm now willing to try callbacks because I have no idea anymore. http://andlabs.lostsig.com/blog/2014/06/27/61/my-ui-package-... What do you all think of this design?

A bunch of people have commented on this blog post wearing me away from this new design. To their credit, yes, things do get unwieldy fast... but now I'm not sure where I want to t…

Actually OS X is the only system that guarantees application-modal dialog boxes stay always on top; it's the other platforms that I would need to worry about.

Note: since writing that article I have now started, and am now mostly finished with, this rewrite, having only one last ink to work on... dialog boxes. This was always a big disas…

If I recall correctly, the point of Singularity wasn't to have a platform base where all programming languages shared the same infrastructure, but rather to have an operating syste…
