Windows and X API?

(1/1)

TheQuirk:
Is the API for X like the one in windows? As in, X passes a message to the program telling the program everything the user does..?

it's uncomparable .... X is network orientated (i.e. a display client doesn't have to be on the same server as a display server)

TheQuirk:
all right, thanks.

now to figure out how t o make graphical linux applications =\.

badkarma:
use Qt if you want to write GPL applications, if you code nicely it's even platform independant.

you could ofcourse learn the X windowing toolkit, however I, personally, find it to be cumbersome and archaic.

if I had to choose between GTK and Qt I'd have to think about 2 seconds .... wait ... maybe 1.5  ;)
