FAQ: GUI Toolkits for Linux

[bruce89]

To be honest, for simple projects, a good old Makefile like this is good enough:

CC = gcc
CFLAGS = -g -Wall `pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-2.0`

all: program

program: program.c
	$(CC) $(CFLAGS) -o program program.c

clean:
	$(RM) program

I'm looking for a grid UI component with grouping/filtering/child tables features (like this .NET component); does it exist in the linux world?

And are there commercial UI toolkits for Linux?

Qt is a really very nice Toolkit, it comes as lgpl or commercial. It does have grid widgets and a nice RAD like IDE: qtcreator.

you can also use bash commands in the glade interface designer although it limits your options. gtkdialog is also an excellent tool for widgets and you can contain the xml file in a bash variable and pipe it into gtkdialog all in one script.
