V C++ GUI Framework: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 18:55, 21 January 2016

V is an easy to program, cross-platform C++ graphical user interface framework. V was designed to make it easier to write C++ graphical user interface applications regardless if they are commercial, shareware, or freeware. In addition to OS/2 it supports MS Windows 16 and 32 bit and Unix like operating system via X11, note that the OS/2 version is available in versions for native OS/2 and XFree86

The original author of the package later introduced an IDE written using the package that supported C++ programming in general and this package in particular but that was only released in versions for Linux and 32 bit MS Windows

Version

Last known versions: 1.9 for the UNIX and 32 bit MS Windows version.
Last known OS/2 version: 1.21 for the native version and 1.24 for the XFree86 version.
