Ultimate++ [3][4][5][6] is a C++ rapid application development cross-platform development framework which aims to reduce the code complexity of typical desktop applications by extensively exploiting C++ features.
Features
The major Ultimate++ features are:
- Currently supports Unix/Linux/FreeBSD (X11), Microsoft Windows and Windows CE.
- Includes an IDE and a GUI designer.
- Uses heavily RAII and auto pointers-like mechanisms to avoid manual memory management and even to limit the use of pointers in the code [7]
- Can emulate[8] native widgets look and feel. On X11 systems, Ultimate++ supports GTK+ widgets look and feel.
- Standard distribution comes with Ultimate++ sources included, even the IDE ones.
- Uses NTL[9] as template system instead of STL.
Hello World
The following example creates a C++ application with "Hello world!" button:
#include <CtrlLib/CtrlLib.h>
using namespace Upp;
class MyApp : public TopWindow
{
public:
MyApp()
{
Title("Hello world");
button.SetLabel("Hello world!");
button << [=] { OnClick(); };
Add(button.HSizePos(100, 100).VSizePos(100, 100));
}
private:
void OnClick()
{
if(PromptYesNo("Button was clicked. Do you want to quit?"))
Break();
}
Button button;
};
GUI_APP_MAIN
{
MyApp().Run();
}
