Please note that a) Java does not have any standard and b) the spec document for the Java language does not define GUI, either. It just happens that some company that is involved in the Java business provides the platform implementation that has a GUI library (and battery) included. Interestingly, this is also true for C++. ;-) It is all a matter of perception, which is largely influenced by marketing and other market forces. -- Maciej Sobczak * www.msobczak.com * www.inspirel.com [ See http://www.gotw.ca/resources/clcm.htm for info about ] [ comp.lang.c++.moderated.

To all/any In a related vein, I have a lot of old Borland code to upgrade/rewrite. I have recently started trying to use the standard library much more, and I sure am happy to swap all those "new []" for "vector". Hand in hand I would like to use std::string more. So there is tons of code using AnsiString which seems quite different to std::string. If I upgrade to the latest version there will be tons of code which should probably change to UnicodeString which seems similarly unrelated to std::wstring. I thought I'd look at qt, and what do I find, QString! An even quicker look at U++ and I find String. What is the problem with std::string (or std::wstring) and GUI libraries? I know UnicodeString is probably there because of VCL, but what is a programmer supposed to use? Thanks Alex -- [ See http://www.gotw.ca/resources/clcm.htm for info about ] [ comp.lang.c++.moderated.
