Module gui 

Available on crate feature gui only.

High-level GUI abstractions for user windows and native controls. They can be created programmatically or by loading resources from a .res file. These files can be created with a WYSIWYG resource editor.

Windows

There are 5 types of windows, which can host child controls:

• WindowControl – a custom, user-defined child control;
• WindowMain;
• WindowMessageOnly;
• WindowModal;
• WindowModeless.

You’ll probably want to start your GUI application using the WindowMain.

Native controls

Native controls are hosted by windows, and receive various types of user input.

• Button;
• CheckBox;
• ComboBox;
• DateTimePicker;
• Edit (textbox);
• Header;
• Label;
• ListBox;
• ListView (grid);
• MonthCalendar;
• ProgressBar;
• PropSheet;
• RadioButton;
• StatusBar;
• Tab;
• Trackbar;
• TreeView;
• UpDown.
