This is an beta release of dynamic windows version 1.0.0. The current Dynamic Windows source base is relatively stable on OS/2, Windows, Linux, FreeBSD and Solaris. When the beta feature set is stable I will release a final. Known problems: Boxes don't adhere to ratios on Unix. Known limitations: It is not safe on all platforms to operate on widgets before they are packed. For portablity pack widgets before operating on them. On Windows a slider control will only work properly if it is the only slider in a box. If there is more than one slider control in a box then signals may get misdirected to the wrong control. On OS/2 and Windows MLE controls scrolled position may get corrupted when resizing. On Unix the window manager border is not a constant value so environment variables DW_BORDER_WIDTH and DW_BORDER_HEIGHT are used for proper positioning. Future features: Implementing a full set of controls. Most controls common to OS/2, Windows and GTK have been implemented. Although not all the functionality of the native controls have been integrated into Dynamic Windows. Documentation, I have all the functions relatively well documented in the source code but a developer's manual and online API reference will need to be written.
