My questions revolve around a Software Engineering course I am taking over Network Northeastern. At Northeastern, they are using a Macintosh environment using THINKC V4.0. They have a THINK Class Library which provides the Object Oriented programming (OOP) interface to the MAC window management. What I am trying to find out if there is a similar environment I can set up with DECwindows and C++. Is there a class library around which setups a lot of the window management routines that can modified by the user with overrides or parameter passing. Basically, what I am looking for is an object oriented environment using Decwindows, C++, and VMS. Can you help out on this? Any help you can provide would be appreciated. I have looked at the XUI Toolkit which has a lot of window routines but I have not been aable to find any class libraries that would provide the object oriented interface. I will be suing this interface to develop a moderate sized program - about 1000 lines of code. Thanks in advance, Tom Wenners

Tom, I have not seen any mention of an object set which encapsulates the DECwindows widget set for C++. There was on the usenet a .hxx file to replace xlib.h for use with C++. There is also Interviews which is an object library (and programming environment, I think) for C++. The default object set for Interviews does not have an XUI look and feel but you may be able to sub-class them to do so. Interviews has been discussed in TURRIS::C_PLUS_PLUS. The usenet stuff (from comp.sources.x) should be available on DECWRL. Dick | |||||
