I want to create a gui program in linux which I eventually might move to the iphone. What programming language and GUI framework should I use to make this easiest?

The ...
Hello, I just started to use dialogs and I really like the possibility to define the layout in resource file. But is it possible to set up one dialog and embed it into another (i.e., no floating dialogs)? With plain windows, I created the main window with one child window. Then, I created even more windows (like "edit", "static", ...) ...

Hello Does anyone have an IsDirty implementation they find particularly useful? Ideally I'd like to support Undo but not have to lug a framework like CSLA in.

There doesn't appear to be any documentation about that. I guessed that since checking and unchecking works by ch...
