Ok, I am embarking on a long journey, hopefully to end with a big impressive
X application. I have bought all books 1-5 in the O'Riley series. My
question is this: is there any touchy-feelie X "interface builders"? I
envision something with which I can design button boxes, dialogs, etc
with some sort of "art" tool (i.e. the mouse), then press a button and get
some code kicked out which will implement what I have drawn.
Looking at it another way, I know just enough about X programming to know
how little I know (whew!). What can make my task easier? I imagine I will
be using lots of Xt stuff, combined with many custom widgets which I must
write. What stuff is out there to make this easier?
Also, I need to communicate with a process (probably through a socket) the
whole time my application is running. Any pointers/thoughts?
Thanks in advance. Please email directly to me, and I will post a summary.
By the way, I did get a copy of the FAQ, and have read it :-).
