Golang GUI library for windows, UI created by ResEdit or Visual Studio Resource Editor
Lightweight, high performance and small executable file size Windows GUI library.
# UI Design tool
> ResEdit
> Visual Studio Resource Editor
> Other dialog box editor
# Requires
### GCC (Optionally, windres.exe can be used to generate a syso file from res or rc.)
MinGW
http://www.mingw.org
or
TDM-GCC
http://tdm-gcc.tdragon.net/
#### windres.exe
This tool in `TDM-GCC-64/bin/windres.exe`,don't know where in MinGW.
You can also use rc.exe and link.exe to generate syso file.
# Usage
### Simple usage:
> example for https://github.com/whtiehack/wingui/tree/master/examples/simple
Generate `x.syso` file from rc or res file use `windres.exe` tool.
generate `syso` file:
`windres -i emptyProject/Debug/resource.res -O coff -o vsui.syso`
or
`windres -i ui/ui.rc -O coff -o ui.syso`
main.go
```go
package main
import "github.com/whtiehack/wingui"
func main() {
dlg, _ := wingui.NewDialog(101, 0, nil)
dlg.SetIcon(105)
btnok, _ := wingui.BindNewButton(1002, dlg)
btncancel, _ := wingui.BindNewButton(1003, dlg)
btnok.OnClicked = func() {
dlg.Close()
}
btncancel.OnClicked = btnok.OnClicked
dlg.Show()
// This invoke is optional.
wingui.SetCurrentDialog(dlg.Handle())
wingui.MessageLoop()
}
```
run:
`go run .`
Don't use `go run main.go`, because golang can't load x.syso files.
