Well, don't they call those things they use to make some movies "green screens" when they want to add computer animation or other such things? I'm guessing it could be an app for one of those.

Though i voted for Native Application & components
there must be a seprate option for MFC

The poll is about the type of application, not the library you use to write.

Is MFC comes into windows form category? or Native Windows?
|
|

MFC does not provide support for .NET Windows Forms.

I find it interesting that there are still not many of us producing code for these babies. See the CP Embedded / Mobile forum: it is mostly sleepy, unfortunately  What is your oppinion about this industry? Is it really growing?

Thanks for tipping me off... I didn't know there was one!

Well, I think it's becuase this is amostly Windows-oriented site. Most embedded and/or smart devices out there are non-Windows.
Windows CE/whatever may work for pocket PCs. I don't see too many other uses for embedded Windows, though. The business model is all wrong for the embedded market. If a manufacturer has to make 1 million devices, the last thing it wants to do is have to pay a royalty on each one of those devices.
I can see Linux finding a niche in the embedded market. Actually, in many cases it already has.

I'm surprised by the result too. I have tried to use Windows Forms and found it to be primitive compared to the MFC/WTL.
I wonder how complex the apps written using Windows forms are. Do people spend a lot of time writing code that us MFC programmers take for granted? Or do they just do very basic ui (the kind of stuff that got VB its bad reputation)

How about a windows form designer
MVC multi-interfaced app in any dialect
Completely custom drawn calender/task control (outlook style)
UML designer with a friendly interface (including dynamic linking.
Sharpdevelop, a replacement for VS.Net
etc, etc.

Maybe people are confused and think that the option is referring to standard Windows development. Should have included a .NET on the line to be more specific.

Probably not near as complicated as the huge portion of the VS.NET IDE or the WebMatrix

Not IMO. It's a great way to throw something together. I ticked it, because I use Windows Forms for support stuff, things like my MSDE tool, which has been invaluable now I use the MSDE with J2EE, and so on. But I'm yet to write anything with WinForms that will be released. I may well do soon, I need an app to run on our ASP.NET server to configure some ini files, so it seems the best approach.

I don't have other choice, I used to program in C or C++ and started to work with Visual Basic because the people I work with don't know anything else. And after programming for a few months with it, my conclusion about it, it's that VB is a pain only gives me headaches. I even prefer the old Lisp in it's own way of doing things.

I used it for database centric applications, I use C# as the preferred language, may even cross to Mananged C++, dunno about the benefits.

There basically isn't any benefits.
