# `sw`

[中文](./README.md) | **English**

`sw`, short for `SimpleWindow`, is a C++ GUI framework for building Windows desktop applications. It provides object-oriented encapsulation of Windows standard controls and is suitable for creating simple desktop applications.

## Features

+ **Based on Windows API**:  

  SimpleWindow is a framework based on the Windows API with no additional dependencies.

+ **Supports Properties**:  

  It implements property syntax similar to C#, allowing for intuitive access and modification of object properties.

+ **High DPI Support**:  

  Native support for high DPI using DIP (Device Independent Pixels) as the default unit of measurement.

+ **Flexible Layout**:  

  Implements a layout system similar to WPF, supporting various layouts such as `GridLayout`, `StackLayout`, `DockLayout`, and more.

+ **Routed Events**:  

  Adopts a routed event mechanism, where events can bubble up from the source control to propagate upwards. Event handlers can be registered on controls at different levels.

## Quick Start

Here is a SimpleWindow HelloWorld program. For more examples, see [here](./examples).

```c++

#include "SimpleWindow.h"

int wWinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, PWSTR pCmdLine, INT nCmdShow)

{

    // Window object

    sw::Window mainWindow;

    // Button object

    sw::Button button;

    // Modify the window layout to center the button

    mainWindow.SetLayout();

    // Modify the button text by assigning a value to the Text property

    button.Text = L"Click Me";

    // Register a button click event handler to show a message box when the button is clicked

    button.RegisterRoutedEvent(sw::ButtonBase_Clicked,

        [](sw::UIElement& sender, sw::RoutedEventArgs& e) {

            sw::MsgBox::Show(L"Hello, SimpleWindow!");

        });

    mainWindow.AddChild(button);

    mainWindow.Show();

    // Start the message loop

    return sw::App::MsgLoop();

}

```
