How are Swing components internally created, laid out, repainted, notified of events, ...?
Hello! I wonder if there's a good documentation (or a (viewable) ebook) about the lifecycle of Swing components. Is "lifecycle" the correct term, anyway? I hope to find answers to question such as: How, when, in which order painting methods are called? How, when, which events are called by whom? What is the exact sequence of method ...
App hangs calling DefaultCellEditor constructor

Is XML or XUL the future of Java GUI building?
After spending a lot of time and code on programming in Swing, I thought this can't be state-of-the-art Java GUI building. After not finding a user-friendly visual gui bilder for eclipse I stumbled upon declarative GUI building with XML UI toolkits... and I thought: This must be it!

WxPython differences between Windows and Linux
The tutorials I've found on WxPython all use examples from Linux, but there seem to be differences in some details. For example, in Windows a Panel behind the widgets is mandatory to show the background properly. Additionally, some examples that look fine in the tutorials don't work in my computer. So, do you know what important differ...
C# Containers -- Filling a Space Vertically on Resize
I'm new to C# and I've been working on a small project to get the feel with Visual Studio 2008. I'm designing the GUI in C#, and I have a TabControl with three GroupBoxes.

Window StateChanging event in WPF
I need to handle WPF application right before it goes Minimize, not when it's already there.

Also, there isn't a real reason I'm only writing in C, other than, that's the language I want to write in, and be proficient in, for now. I know moving from C to C++ is bad, but whatever. And does anyone know a solution, to my problem with making mo...
