D14UIKit is a GUI development library for modern Windows platform.

## Getting Started

First, [download](https://github.com/DreamersGather/D14UIKit/releases) the latest development package for Python3:

* d14uikit_python.zip

  * demo

  * D14UIKit.pyd

  * D14UIKit.pyi

  * HelloWindow.py (You need to create this yourself)

Then, write your Python3 code (HelloWindow.py) as follows:

```python

# Preferably Python 3.10.x and later versions.

from D14UIKit import *

app = Application('HelloWindow')

mwnd = MainWindow('HelloWindow')

exit(app.run())

```

Finally, run `python3 HelloWindow.py`, and you're all set!



If you are familiar with **C++/Python3** and want to build your own GUI application on modern Windows platform, D14UIKit is a great choice: it is based on **DirectX 12** for high-performance rendering, provides a classic **OOP-style** UI framework, and more. If you want to learn details, feel free to visit the project website at https://d14std.io/projects/uikit 😎👍

## Features

## How It Works

## How to Build

We use the **Visual Studio IDE** for D14UIKit development. After downloading the code, you can directly open the solution (**D14UIKit.sln**) to build and debug. If you want to learn more details, you can refer to the [complete project build instructions](https://d14std.io/projects/uikit/en/latest/dev_guide/building.html).

## Roadmap

- [x] Migrate UIKit @ D14Engine to build a basic GUI development framework.

- [x] Implement PyBind wrapping to provide Python3 development interface.

- [x] Set up the project website and write the basic documentation.

- [x] Provide DirectX (2D/3D/Write/Composition) interfaces for C++ developers.

- [x] Support asynchronous UI event handling (Message & Polling).

#### Current Work:

- [ ] Support irregular, transparent, special-material (such as Acrylic) window and controls.

#### Future Goals:

- [ ] Support interactive development and building of UI (e.g. dynamic creation via Python interpreter).

- [ ] Complete the development documentation (feeling too lazy to do it 😂).

- [ ] Provide high-performance geometric drawing interfaces to help render complex dynamic charts.

- [ ] Introduce more modern UI concepts, such as advanced animations.

- [ ] What's next? 🤔

## Contributing

For developers who are not only satisfied with using the existing D14UIKit library but also want to participate in the growth of D14UIKit, you can first refer to [Building](https://d14std.io/projects/uikit/en/latest/dev_guide/building.html) to construct and debug the D14UIKit project. If you want to delve deeper, you can read [Architecture](https://d14std.io/projects/uikit/en/latest/dev_guide/architecture.html) to understand the overall architecture of D14UIKit. After you have made some interesting attempts, you can follow [Contributing](https://d14std.io/projects/uikit/en/latest/dev_guide/contributing.html) to contribute your code to the D14UIKit repository!

## About

The "UIKit" in the logo is in Segoe UI font, which is the default font for displaying Western languages on Vista and subsequent versions of Windows.
