Any alternatives that run cross-platform? It seems wpf is windows only, right?

>>58769538
Hope for MS to make WPF crossplatform like .NET's core or maybe a Mono feature for it?

>>58769506
Just license your software under the GPL. You should be doing that anyway.

>>58770143
some of our tools and library use the GPVvx, here is the link when you have time to read it

>>58769506
use the lgpl and you are fine, CIA nigger

1. You can charge money for your gpl program if you want. It is not forbidden by the license.
2. Qt also comes under lgpl license under which only qt needs to be open and you can dynamically link your closed program to it.

tl;dr shill go away

>freedums licences only worth your time if your time is worthless! BTFO!

No one pays for desktop software anymore OP.

Go ahead, waste your time.

I'm gonna be honest here. I figured out the trick to LGPL the library and close the program proper and I said nice, a nice WPF replacement. It turns out that shit can't even work as an editor.

I open the editor on Windows, it can't even I tree full screen and then it completely hangs. I try to build the application (with mingw fully loaded according to the Qt UI config screens) and it doesn't even give a visible indication anywhere that it failed and why

The quality of that shit compared to Visual Studio 2015 is just abysmal I'm sorry to say.

>>58770989
Companies, institutions and governments do.

>>58770989
it's libre with paid support, like 95% of all useful open source software

>>58771023
I'm gonna be honest here. I've never heard anyone having such problems with qt creator. It works out of the box, gives indication of errors where you would expect it to and not being able to "tree full screen" makes it sound like you had a stroke.

And then you compare it to vs2015 which just makes you sound more like a shill that just noticed license FUD won't work and is grasping at straws.

>>58771023
qt doesn't compete directly with visual studio, you should be using the vc++ compiler for anything on windows, mingw isn't for serious things

>>58771422
1. Qt comes with vs compiler support and precompiled binaries for it, so what you wrote makes no sense.
2. Mingw is years ahead of vc in c++14 and c++17 support, so what you wrote makes no sense.

What is up with all the misinformation today?

>>58769506
GTK does not have this issue

>>58772047
>Qt comes with vs compiler support and precompiled binaries for it
yeah i'm saying you should be using that retard

>>58772110
GTK is also cancer on Windows.
I can't even write a simple ' in Pidgin.

Xojo is a hell of a lot cheaper and pretty damn good for cross platform desktop apps.

>>58772804
Proprietary software.
Cheapest option is 99usd per os with no support or version control (sic!) vs free libre qt.
You are joking, right?

>>58769506
gtk does not have this problem.

>>58770047

WPF has dependencies on Win32 APIs (and COM iirc), so not gonna happen ever.

Qt is LGPL. Just don't modify the fucking library and dynamically link it, and you can link it with a proprietary application without paying.

best c++ alternative?

What happened to the "free software sux because I can't make money out of it"?
HYPOCRITES.


Every day spent on /g/ makes me realize more and more that windows users and windows developers are the cyberspace equivalent of niggers.

Factually correct.

wtf with these wpf shills here. That's new for me.

>>58778219
My wild guess is that Currysoft actualy plans to re-release a crossplatform version of it and maybe make the license more open.

They're scouting the market and prepping (pre-shilling?) it so once it actually happens they can all spam threads about "based microsoft listening to developers"

>>58769538
Electron

>>58769538
i thought gtk was like the gold standard cross platform framework. i don't do gui stuff so I'm not sure.

>>58780008
Gtk only works well on Linux
It's ugly on Windows and macOS, never fits right in with native applications. It uses its own file picker that is completely different to native ones.

wxWidgets is the best alternative to Qt

>>58769506
Blizzard uses qt for the battle.net launcher. They just forked the code, bashed it on kikehub and they are done with it.

>>58769506
>disgusting, and for a moment I thought it had anything on WPF
That - among other details - only shows you are some inexperienced under8.
WPF has literally nothing on Qt, it's my first BASIC toy widgetset compared to what Qt offers.

>>58780133
GNU/Linux*

>>58770866
Where is the link?

This is actually kind of good, all those small-time devs won't want to pay the fee and will just give out their software for free maybe adding a donation button instead.

>>58769506
I'm quite certain most of QT is still under LGPLv3. Only certain graphical parts like charts I think are GPL and commercial I think. Still free to link your shit against it.

>>58780008
gtk was never cross-platform, nobody else used it unless you count a bsd port and it wasn't feature complete, that it theoretically used to compile on windows with enough hacks means nothing

>>58784722

WPF shill has been working hard these days

>>58769506
You don't have to pay a cent if your commercial application ships with dynamic libraries.

>>58786055
Do not reply, it's an obvious shill.
Sage and ignore.

>>58780133
Gtk and its gnome components are a mess on any platform right now. The devs refuse to listen. Which is why LXDE, Unity, Budgie are all moving to Qt. With rumors of Cinnamon thinking of following after some devs spoke about getting fed up with new versions constantly breaking shit.

Way to prove microdick (un)paid shills just spread lies without researching. You should try on another place where people is even less informed about technology.
