Simple UI Library

Summary

This is a small UI library. It was designed to create user interfaces without any use of "mouse work". Everything is created with use of simple declarative syntax looking like this:

NewControl(UIGroup)
.Expose(GroupVar)
.SomeGroupFunc()
[
	NewControl(ControlType1, args1)
	.SomeControl1Func1()
	.SomeControl1Func2()
	+ NewControl(ControlType2, args2)
	.Expose(Control2Var)
	...
]

Source code is located on Github.

Supported platforms

At the moment this library supports only Windows platform, however it was designed in mind to make it cross-platform later.

STL support

The library was created specially for UModel project. Therefore it uses UModel internal structures to hold information, in particular - TArray and FString (these classes are inspired by Unreal engine API). To make library usable in other projects, we have created a special wrappers which could be found in stl-stub directory. Simply copy them to the main UI library folder, or set up compiler include paths to use these directories.

Callback / delegate class

This library shipped with Callback class used for binding any function, class method or lambda as an action to UI event. This class is self-containing, doesn't depend on other UI library parts, on any other C++ library and/or STL. It could be used separately from UI library if you need the functionality it provides. The Callback class has been made with use of modern C++, so you will need C++11 supporting compiler. For more details please refer to class' source code (read comments in file header).

Sample code

At the moment it could be located here - UITest.

Other external files

• Win32Types.h Contains declarations stripped from Windows.h. Allows faster compilation of headers without use of heavy Windows headers. Library's cpp files still depends on Windows SDK.
