Pierre, thanks. Wise or not, my thinking is to attempt WPF first.

Re: 2016 GUI recommendations

Pierre, I posted a reply this morning and I look this evening and I do not see my short reply, not sure what happened (I'm traveling today). I agree, nothing unique or new with my GUI and Opengl. My unique contribution is gear geometry with spiral-bevel and hypoid gears. I quickly looked at your ...

Re: 2016 GUI recommendations

Pierre, I agree, my requests are standard GUI. Further, my Opengl needs are nothing special. Although (the most) challenging for me, WPF seems to be a stable modern platform to develop a new GUI. This is the reason for this post, to seek recommendations on 2016-20XX Dyalog GUI options. I'm inclined ...

Re: 2016 GUI recommendations

Dick, Thanks for the feedback. My comment “not a programmer” is important as my experience is with APL2. I will likely not understand comments on certain topics (e.g., OOP and .net). I want a modern GUI. Starting fresh, I’d like to build a GUI that will not be dated or obsolete in a few years. I favo ...

Re: 2016 GUI recommendations

Mike,

More thanks. Retaining APL2 GUI is perhaps an easy way to go and good to know, my immediate reaction is to be patient, build a solid base and grow with Dyalog. I need to learn Dyalog basics and initiate my foray into Dyalog GUI.

Re: 2016 GUI recommendations

Mike, Thanks for the suggestions. This is the type of guidance I am seeking. Namely, what are the latest trends and will I be able to use Dyalog to develop the next generation GUI. As for sophistication, I’m envisioning a GUI package with features used in the Dyalog session editor. I’ll have menus (d ...

2016 GUI recommendations

Dyalogers, My name is David Dooner. I’m hoping to introduce myself to Dyalog APL and learn some of its many features. My background is mechanical engineering. I’ve been with APL2 for over 25 years. I have a moderate command of APL2 and its features. I recently installed the 64 bit OS non-commercial U ...
