wxAUI Description

wxAUI is an Advanced User Interface library for the wxWidgets toolkit. wxAUI is an Advanced User Interface library for the wxWidgets toolkit.wxAUI is an Advanced User Interface library that aims to implement "cutting-edge" interface usability and design features so developers can quickly and easily create beautiful and usable application interfaces.wxAUI attempts to encapsulate the following aspects of the user interface:Frame Management: Frame management provides the means to open, move and hide common controls that are needed to interact with the document, and allow these configurations to be saved into different perspectives and loaded at a later time.Toolbars: Toolbars are a specialized subset of the frame management system and should behave similarly to other docked components. However, they also require additional functionality, such as "spring-loaded" rebar support, "chevron" buttons and end-user customizability.Modeless Controls: Modeless controls expose a tool pallete or set of options that float above the application content while allowing it to be accessed. Usually accessed by the toolbar, these controls disappear when an option is selected, but may also be "torn off" the toolbar into a floating frame of their own.Look and Feel: Look and feel encompasses the way controls are drawn, both when shown statically as well as when they are being moved. This aspect of user interface design incorporates "special effects" such as transparent window dragging as well as frame animation.wxAUI adheres to the following principles:Use native floating frames to obtain a native look and feel for all platformsUse existing wxWidgets code where possible, such as sizer implementation for frame managementUse classes included in wxCore and wxBase onlyUse standard wxWidgets coding conventionsWhat's New in This Release:· This release adds support for wxMac.· It includes better support for wxWidgets 2.6.3, as well as fixes for display glitches, crashes, and other minor bugs.
