C++ Directui

Directui is a set of development ideas, the main idea is that the main window has a handle HWND, but the child control Button List and so on is no window handle, using spy++ can not crawl control HWND. The DirectUI interface library takes its name from a Microsoft window class called “DirectUIHWND”, which stands for Paint on parent DC Directly. That is, the child window is not created as a window handle, but is a logical window drawn on top of the parent window. DirectUI interface library uses XML to describe the interface style, interface layout, to easily build efficient, gorgeous, very easy to expand the interface. Thus, the interface and logic are well separated, and it is easy to achieve a variety of super dazzling interface effects such as color change, skin change, transparency and so on. DirectUI technology is simply XML configuration files + images +JavaScript control interface. This point and web CSS + images +JavaScript is very similar, is the development of the general desktop interface, the development efficiency of course greatly improved. Programmers will be freed from tedious interface drawing work, concentrate on the development of logic code. Also can greatly reduce the amount of code, because according to statistics, the traditional MFC program, interface code accounted for about 1/3 of the total code! In other words, 1/3 of this code can be replaced by XML +javascript! Similarly, can you imagine the amount of code required for a web page if every image needed to be drawn by a Web program? I can’t imagine, and traditional Windows programs are like this! DirectUI technology was first used in the Window XP Explorer left sidebar, called the Task Folder. DirectUI is widely known, but also thanks to Tencent. QQ2009 interface is developed using DirectUI technology. Similar examples include Microsoft’s MSN,OCS and Baidu Hi. The latest Office2007 Ribbon interface, if viewed using Spy++, has a window called “NetUI”, which is actually a variant of Microsoft’s internal DirectUI. But Microsoft, Tencent, and Baidu all use DirectUI technology to develop their software interfaces.

In short, more famous free open source Directui library include duilib/SOUI/REDM/DuiVision and so on. Duilib is used to develop client UI of Internet giants BAT/ netease. In addition, please pay attention to SOUI, REDM, DuiVision these open source libraries.

1, duilib

Duilib is an open source DirectUI interface library (BSD compliant) for Windows operating systems. It is completely free and can be used for commercial software development. Duilib can easily implement most of the interface requirements, including skin, color, transparency, support a variety of image formats, easy to customize Windows using XML, UI and logic separation, minimize the creation of UI controls in the code. Duilib has been widely used in China.

Netease Yunxin Windows Application interface development framework (based on Duilib), recommended and continuously updated. NIM Duilib includes a complete suite of desktop software development components, which is more of a development framework than an interface library. New capabilities from the original Duilib, rewritten in C++11, major refactoring, and integration of the Google base class library (thread, memory, closure, etc.). You can use this framework directly to develop any desktop application you want. After six or seven years of research and development, Compared with the original Duilib, netease Yunxin Duilib has fixed some problems and deficiencies, including but not limited to the lack of variety of controls, no support for animation, no support for semi-transparent special-shape forms, poor support for multithreading, etc. At present, Netease Yunxin Duilib with the relatively efficient engine Base to solve the problem of multi-threading, can make a more powerful and stable client interface.

Dear ImGui: Bloat-free Graphical User interface for C++ with minimal dependencies

Lightweight and supports multiple platforms. ImGui is also well known in the industry. It was developed from PSV’s Tearaway, and has since been extensively expanded by the original creators. It’s used in well-known games like Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, Assassin’s Creed Origins, SONY’s Saving The Robots of the Universe, SE’s FFVII Remake, Mojang’s Bedrock, Blizzard’s Warcraft III: Reforged, and so on. It is also integrated into UE, Unity, Cocos2D and other well-known engines. Dear ImGui itself is platform and graphics rendering API independent. The consumer needs to pass the platform’s user input event conversion to ImGui.
