I have a neat Model based off QAbstractItemModel. This has a simple hierarchical tree structure which works perfectly for QTreeView.

How to write a wxRuby program that will just drawText and setPixel without going into main_loop?

I want to write a program that will constantly compute numbers, and draw on the window canvas, including drawing text and setting pixels. So the program probably cannot go into an event loop (the main_loop), because that will stop the computation of numbers. Is there a way just to draw the items without an event loop? Or, should a thr...

Suggestions for *nix framework to write a menu interface

The pr...

SWT ExpandListener executes before collapse occurs on Linux

I had tried Monkeybars and Glimmer, both of which appealed the most to me, but I didn't manage to get them running (Glimmer is very old, won't load the gem properly) and Monkeybars seems quite dead, can't even run the Hello World examples in the video presentations. So I am wonderin...

Vibrate window in wxPython.

How would I vibrate a window in wxPython. I'd like some way of specifying how long to do it for and distance and stuff like that.

How does Qt only use C++ to make custom GUIs for some many platforms?

I don't see how Qt does the low level graphics work, in order to create its own custom GUI look/feel for each platform. Does it utilize each of the platforms APIs or something? I ask because I am really wondering how I could go about creating my own framework in order to make a custom GUI application with a unique graphical look. ...
