Cross-platform GUI application - what is the best way to write?

Question

Erlang

Good afternoon!

There is a task - to write a cross-platform (Linux, Windows and Mac) application with a GUI interface that works with a USB device. The application reads certain data from it and sends it to the server.

I want the application to look about the same beautiful on all platforms. What language/GUI framework would you recommend? For now, I'm looking more towards Java ...

Thank you in advance!

Answer 1

C++/QT is a great choice.

Answer 2

wxpython.org/ Just a word: I hate apps that look "same beautiful" on all platforms. The application should look like the rest of the _given_ platform. Otherwise yes, Qt/Java

Answer 3

In addition to Qt, there is also GTK/wxwidgets (with support for a lot of languages).
There are other cross-platform toolkits, but they are either half-dead or very exotic.

Answer 4

I'm for Qt, it's not very convenient to write gui in java, but in comparison with Qt it's generally hell, plus with Qt you can easily use a bunch of already created c ++ libraries

Answer 5

If there is no prejudice to pascal, then Lazarus can be considered as an option . Simplicity of implementation of the interface as in Delphi. There is integration with Qt. Screenshots .

Answer 6

> I look towards Java...
Everything is bad with USB.

Answer 7

No one has mentioned XulRunner if the favorite language is JavaScript.

Answer 8

Java + SWT/JFace

Answer 9

I'm for JAVA + Swing or your favorite language (like Python or C) + GTK

Answer 10

Eclipse RCP. (Java c SWT)
works on Win, Mac, Linux, Solaris. More is not necessary. Native interfaces (since SWT)
There are a lot of ready-made things for earlier (since it is built on the basis of the Eclipse core)
You can even then put it into your eclipse and use it as a plugin inside eclipse

Answer 11

Flex/Air
