sw

中文 | 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.

#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<sw::FillLayout>();

    // 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();
}
