For that, +it comes with a lot of widgets (buttons, menus, input fields, scrollbars, +you name it) as well as fdesign, a tool that lets you create a GUI using a +GUI. In addition, the library is extensible and new objects can easily be +created and added to the library. + +Note: the XForms toolkit hasn't anything to do with the W3C standardized +XML XForms format which unfortunately also is called "XForms". The XForms +toolkit already existed long before the XML XForms format stuff was invented +and those newcomers just picked the same name ;-) |
