Not really (looking for something particular) but I often read something of interest on here and a few days down the line I can't find it - I can usually remember who posted it though ( hence the question ) it would be good to have the filter from to in date range

Posting too frequently. Ease up, tiger.

Ah, and now I have to search your post history to find the right person to piss on.
Thanks for the extra work.

I can't find the message either; so I assume it was not directed at you.

We have been developing an industrial SCADA application for the the last 15 years( more than 200 KLOC ). At the beginning we were sure we can run our software on both Linux and Windows. With the decision of Microsoft to not support dotnet core + Winforms on Linux, we finally came to conclusion that it is time to migrate to a new technology. Now, 2 choices comes to mind: 1-Qt 2-GTK. We have zero knowledge in both of them or any other library. Community seems to prefer GTK. Which technology or another one would you recommend for the GUI part of our program?
Decision will be made based on these criteria in order of importance:
1- Long and active Community support ( At least the next 10 years )
2- Would prefer Open-Source one, so bugs and security holes get patched as soon as possible
2- Fair amount of library and 3rd-party controls
3- Modern Looking Controls
4- Good IDE Support
Happy Christmas to all.
cheers

Um.
Quote: 1- Long and active Community support ( At least the next 10 years )
Yeah. OK. Nobody can guarantee that for anything.
Quote: 2- Would prefer Open-Source one, so bugs and security holes get patched as soon as possible
Do you have any idea what "open-source" actually means? 99% of open source software doesn't get bugs fixed, doesn't get security patches unless somebody is interested enough to do that - and most OS developers prefer to do the "interesting bits" like add new features they want instead of "boring stuff" like wade through looking for a bug.
Take Open Office for example: it'll probably still be there in ten years time, but it's still got bugs that were reported by multiple members of the community over ten years ago!

If you have develped apps with Avalonia, I, and I am sure others, would appreciate a CP article.

Avalonia looks like it is based on XAML. UNO is also XAML-based web UI. Could use that too.
I have not but I will accept the challenge. There is an old app, WinForm using VB, that was coded almost 20 years ago that I have been meaning to update and do an article on with: Blazor, WPF, Winform, & MAUI. I will add Avalonia & UNO to the list.

Are you still alive and kicking old friend?
I have an article that I am finishing up that will cover WinForms, Wpf, and Avalonia. Avalonia was never intended, however, I remembered our conversation, so I added it just for you and for my own curiosity. I have common code for all 3 project types as well as specific to the project type, specifically Control Libraries. Surprisingly, there are very few differences between WPF & Avalonia. A couple of annoyances but it is still early days for Avalonia. I am very impressed. NOTE: Both are Dot Net Core built.
The Avalonia Project I have compiled and run on both Windows and MacOS. I have an animated GIF of the MacOS version for those who don't have MacOS. When I add a GUI Linux version to my WSL, I'll compile and run it there too and post an update with a GIF for that too...
Here is the XAML for WPF:
<Window x:Class="WpfLoggingNoDI.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
mc:Ignorable="d"
xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
xmlns:control="clr-namespace:LogViewer.Wpf;assembly=LogViewer.Wpf"
Title="C# WPF MINIMAL | LogViewer Control Example - Dot Net 7.0"
WindowStartupLocation="CenterScreen" Height="634" Width="600">
<control:LogViewerControl x:Name="LogViewerControl" />
</Window>
And here for Avalonia:
<Window x:Class="AvaloniaLoggingNoDI.Views.MainWindow"
xmlns="https://github.com/avaloniaui"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
mc:Ignorable="d"
xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
xmlns:control="clr-namespace:LogViewer.Avalonia;assembly=LogViewer.Avalonia"
Title="C# AVALONIA MINIMAL | LogViewer Control Example - Dot Net 7.0"
Icon="/Assets/avalonia-logo.ico"
WindowStartupLocation="CenterScreen" Height="634" Width="600">
<control:LogViewerControl x:Name="LogViewerControl" />
</Window>
Spot the difference! 😛
The article and supporting code will give you a chance to compare all 3.
As for UNO, I will get to it, same for Mobile versions. Life is very busy right now...

The "next" 10 years? If you can predict the future you might want to look into other business opportunities.
But other than that I like to look for the number of posts by different people to code updates and responding to questions. That gives a better idea of how well it is supported versus looking at something like how many releases there are.

Qt - professional quality but pricey.
GTK - open source and very good but not automatically portable (been awhile since I used it)
Both have decent graphics.

I got the go ahead to release some code I wrote on the clock, so enjoy a new article by yours truly.
I'm posting this notice here mainly in case astute readers of the lounge realize that my earlier talks here involving a problem with a paying project wound up as an article on code project. It's above board. And I couldn't be happier about that.
Anyway, it's just something to control PWM fans but it was hard to do, so I got a sense of accomplishment out of the whole thing.
And for those of you that were wondering/following along from earlier, I was finally talked out of going my own way on the matter, and instead relying on the PID algorithm. There were several reasons for it, so I'll omit them here, but suffice it to say that once I found kp ki and kd I was happy with the result.

fortunately, the so-beyond-mundane colors in your rare earth incandescent tubes are often ... delightful ! i think of multi-colored shimmering moire patterns in an oil slick on water seen from the right angles or the wrong angles, but, without the necessity of altering brain chemistry.

I didn't post it for attention. I posted it because I got anxious and wondered what folks like Randor who were following along might have thought when they saw the article posted.
Bill, I don't think you know enough about me to divine my intentions, but about 90% of my motives are anxiety driven  , not narcissism driven.

Fair enough. I don't read enough Walt Whitman, I suppose, and apparently I don't know enough people that do either.
I guess I'm in with a bad crowd.

Yeah, but you can write, and absorb literature like a sponge. I can appreciate the written word but maybe not to the same degree you do. You're like a wine taster going over some of the great works out there, and I'm over here with my primitive palate going "needs hot sauce"
But seriously, I'm just playing the hand I'm dealt. I mean, it's cool that I have a gift for development, but my hand also has a couple of crappy cards I've got to contend with, like mental illness. I struggle with a lot of things - even things most people don't have trouble with. Development just isn't one of them.
