# haxe-ui
  • b
    WPF or WinUI
  • b
    (winui is supposed to be the new "native" windows gui)
  • b
    yeah, been looking at winui, i think there is certainly merit in a haxeui-winui(3)
  • b
    but it looks increadibly complex, though i havent really looked deep
  • b
    indeed it looks very complex
  • b
    wpf is basically winforms isnt it?
  • b
    no
  • b
    wpf is a composite ui in directx9
  • b
    its kind of beloved in the c# world
  • b
    visual studio is WPF i believe
  • b
    whats winforms then? Isnt that also an owner drawn ui framework? Its certainly not "native" (win32 native i mean)
  • b
    winforms is native
  • b
    i dont think it is
  • b
    its all C win32 bindings
  • b
    hmmm, fair enough, certainly doesnt feel native, and the controls are different to their win32 counterparts
  • b
    which ones?
  • b
    maybe im wrong, its been a while since i really looked at it properly
  • b
    even just buttons, i could be totally mixing things up tbh
  • b
    i could be thinking about qt
  • b
    in fact, actually, i think im thinking about UWP
  • b
    (or qt... so many ui frameworks it makes your head spin sometimes)
  • b
    for sure, even microsoft's alone
  • b
    ... yeah
  • b
    but yeah, suffice to say, there is merit in making frameworks that support xml work in haxeui, you dont need the xml of the target framework ofc
  • b
    haxeui-winforms is like this
  • b
    winui3 looks like a nice contender, but, well, i just dont know if its doable (the c++ is intense and i dont know if hxcpp is gonna play well with it)
  • b
    i also wonder how long it will be till winui82 becomes "the thing"
  • b
    winforms doesnt actually have XML design language, it's the only one that doesnt have one
  • b
    it has a visual designer
  • b
    doesnt winforms work with xaml?
