I am curious about InterViews.
o What was your general impression of this library?
o Did it speed up development?
o How easy was it to learn/use?
o What were its limitations - how extensible was it - how flexible??
I've never used c++ or x-windows; however the project I'm on plans to.
We have a complex user interface to implement which consists of a
hierarchy of graphical objects the user can navigate down into
(eg.. he clicks on parent object to display the next screen containing
all the child objects - of course he can also make queries about any of
these objects.) A graphical editor is needed to assemble & change the
hierarchy as well as an informational scrolling text area and pull down
menus. We are considering using InterViews. If you have used InterViews
I would appreciate your comments and impressions.
What other toolkits can you recommend/suggest? (We are on Sun 3's).
I apologize if these questions have appeared previously
but I'm fairly new to the network.

One of my classes learned InterViews in two weeks and did some small projects with it. We found it easy to learn. We didn't push it, so it isn't really fair to say that we found it flexible, powerful, etc., but all in all I was favorably impressed and I would be happy to try it for a more ambitious project.
