Docking library

[mandrav]

Hi guys.

Have you checked wxAUI out?

http://wiki.wxwidgets.org/wiki.pl?WxAUI

This looks nice and I haven't heard of it. But it lacks one of the main important features wxIFM already has: docking any window as a tab in another window.
Anyway, it will take a while until we could use wxIFM in C::B (it lacks some other important features - like save/load layout). If by then wxAUI has added the missing functionality, we could evaluate it too

*Drool* Sugoi.... docking toolbars... *drools*

How long has this been around? Is it stable? Any bugs?

wxAUI, amazing, never heard of it before. It seems stable and very lightweight (current version 0.9).

It's being developed by a developer of Kirix, so it'll be used in the well know Kyrix Strata. I can guess it's well mantained and it'll continue to be.

It seems that wxAUI get the toolbar and native/coolness effects things right, while wxIFM gets the tear-able tabs and not-XOR rectangles things right.

Let's see which of both get's the features of the other docking library first.

EDIT: I've contacted the wxAUI author. I'm posting the info here: http://forums.next.codeblocks.org/index.php?topic=1789.0.

Has anyone compiled wxIFM and a demo sample under linux (wxGTK)? I successfully compiled wxIFM and the demo on SuSe last night (wx 2.6.2 - static, unicode), but got a lot of gtk-asserts when i tried to launch it. I'm currently not at home so i can't copy the error-msg.

Is anyone using wxIFM under linux ? If yes, it would be great to see few sshots of it.

Did you use the old makefiles it used to bring? Those were generated by MinGWStudio and tweaked in a rush, so there will likely be mistakes in them. Mea culpa.
When I have the time, I'll try to make them in a more thourough way.

Haven't ran it on SUSE on quite a while. What's your version of SUSE and GTK, btw?

yep, there were few mistakes; i added the icon/images-directory to the compiler include-path and made only little changes to interface.cpp (or something like that) where i packed "plain"-strings into wxT() then i built all fine.

It would be great. Thanks in advance.

I'm using suse 10.x and gtk+ 2.8x
