Hello all!

I am trying to design a GUI for a desktop application. Would anyone tell me what are the most popular products that can perform the following functions:

Customize Menu Buttons
3-dimensional Graphs
Opaque Windows
etc

I am familiar with Windows Forms somewhat... but I'm just trying to get a list of what all is out there. What do most cutting edge programs use?

The problem im running into is the sheer amount of things out there...take Adobe, for example. if you look on their products page:

http://www.adobe.com/products/[^]

you'll see many many different products. and all their sales staff has told me is that I need the most premium package of this or that. Please help me see through the forest!

Any help is much appreciated,

Suraci

Solution 1

Well WPF will do all of those, if you are prepared to put in the time to learn it.

Other than that, MSCharts[^] can do the graphing part, as can many other control libraries.

Can't help with the other two requirements.

Solution 2

I can suggest you to look into https://www.ege3d.it/args/gui/index.php and relevanto source code at github for EGE2D-GUI. It's a cross platform gui project open source and can be extended with any function you need.

8 year old question.

So does the question get bumped if someone posts another answer - I was going to chime in until I saw your comment.

Yes it does get bumped. Sean is asking us to allow answers to old posts partly to not discourage new members, but partly because the question gets bumped again when the new solution is deleted via reporting. Because this one looks spammy to me (as does solution 4)
