[ANN] Xeffort library (1.2.15) -- Open Source GUI Library for Visual Fortran

I am pleased to announce version 1.2.15 of my Xeffort (ex-XFT) library (http://www.xeffort.com).




Xeffort is a free, open-source library for building GUI applications in all flavors of Visual Fortran.

Xeffort library (previously known as XFT) is used for easy building Win32 GUI applications with Compaq and Intel Visual Fortran compilers. It seamlessly integrates with Microsoft Visual Studio (.NET) IDE providing:

- Application wizard, for quick creating of skeleton MDI, SDI or dialog-based applications
- Handler wizard, for creation of prototypes of most-frequently used routines
- Online help, which can be run from Visual Studio "Tools" menu

Xeffort is both a framework (meaning that you can build GUI applications using solely Xeffort APIs) and a library (meaning that you can call selected Xeffort routines from any Win32 application without using full set.)

Currently, Xeffort is available only for Compaq/Intel Visual Fortran compilers since it partially depends on some extensions, namely, integer (Cray) pointers and DEC$ metacommands. Your possible effort to port it to other compilers is welcome.




The site is up since yesterday, so your DNS may not be updated yet. If so, try a little later.

Version 1.2.17 is just released, along with new samples.

Few serious bugs related with installation for IVF 8.1 have been fixed in 1.2.16. Namely, Xeffort AppWizard did not appear as an option for "New Project", and menus did not work.

Please check out release notes for list of fixes & additions.
