Hi there,

I'm lookin for a framework that fits best.

A editor creates a xml file with information about a gui.
e.g. size of the frame, buttons (positions, name, extensions,event handler,...)
The size of the objects will be smaller if e.g. pda / smart phone etc is selected.

this file needs to be parsed and according to that build a gui. The problem is that i want to use one framework on all of my different systems.

Windows, Windows CE, Windows Mobile
Linux, Linux embedded
Mac OS
etc. (the more i can get the better it is :D )

So my question is, can gtk# handle that in addition to mono?

Thanks a lot, I'm really tired of not being able to tell which framework I could use.

I think that glade will help you, and while this tutorial isn't for Gtk#, it should help you with the concept of glade

as for being able to use it on small devices, you'll need to design your interface so that it will work on them,
other than that, gtk should take care of sizing

First of all thanks for the interesting link!

But I still have another prob. The editor which describes the GUI and creates an XML file is a graphical one to drag and drop my own widgets onto a ui.

If it is possible to insert my own widgets into glade and lock the basic ones that would help me;(
