user interface - How to write a GUI for a large cross-platform C++ project? -


I have a large cross-platform (Linux and Windows) C ++ project, for which I want to create a GUI .

I have some very common questions about the basic principles of GUI for such a project:

  1. Should the GUI be separated from the application logic?
  2. If it is different, how should logic and GUI dialogue? Is TCP / IP Sockets a Good Option? What are the other possibilities?
  3. Is it good to have a GUI in any language compared to C ++? If yes - which language?
  4. Is this a browser based GUI?
  5. Although the main logic of the project is cross-platform, I can determine that the GUI will be only Windows-based (.NET) and this related to the related Win / Linux machine through socket or similar method But will communicate with logic. Is there a good idea to do this?

  1. The GUIs can be separated from the application logic is?

    Yes, definitely ....

  2. If this is different, then how should the argument and GUI be communicated? Is TCP / IP Sockets a Good Option? What are the other possibilities?

    ... but that is not much. Sockets will be overworked (see exception 5: see question 5) Usually you divide the sections in the GUI and backend parts. GUI classes then call backend methods.

  3. Is it good to have a GUI in a different language than C ++? If yes - which language?

    If so, then you have to integrate two languages, so I would recommend writing everything in one language. But to answer your question, you can create Python binding for your backend, for example, and write a GUI in Python (with PyGTK, PyQT or wxWidgets).

  4. Is this a good idea to have a browser-based GUI?

    It depends on how you want to apply your application, if it should be installed on each client computer, then there is no meaning of a web interface. If you want to host it centrally, you can choose the option of a web interface.

  5. Although the original logic of the project is cross-platform, I can determine that the GUI will only be Windows-based (.NET)? And through this socket or similar method, will communicate with the relevant Win / Linux machine logic. Is there a good idea to do this?

    I think it makes sense only then the backend should be safe in any way (i.e. should not be installed on user's computer) or if you have questions 4 There is a thin client-like approach. Writing Cross-Platforms The CPU is very easy to write cross-platform backend (in my opinion), so you have to cross-platform both parts. By the way, .NET-based GUIs are not just windows - Mono already supports a great subset of Windows form, for example (but unfortunately, not WPF).

Edit:

Regarding your mono question: Mono is mostly stable, but everything is still applicable Has not happened. To ensure this, you can know whether mono will not do anything or not. But I think that the fact that using mono in the production environment really means that you should consider mono as one of the least options!

sql - dynamically varied number of conditions in the 'where' statement using LINQ -

I am using my first project LINQ (in mvc), so maybe there's something very simple that I remember. However, a day of searching and experimenting does not work, so it works. I am trying to write a LINQ query (Linux to SQL) in which in many cases where the statement is different from an OR or an AND. We do not know how many conditions are going in the query till runtime. This search is for filter control, where the user can choose multiple criteria for filtering. Select from table where table.col = 1 or table.col = 2 or table.col = 7 .... 'Other number of conditions Before I just create the SQL query as a string, while looping over all the situations. However, it seems that there should be a good way to do this in LINQ. I tried to use Expression trees, but they had a second thought for this moment on my head, where the lambda function was to be executed inside the statement such as: values ​​for matchingRows = matchingRows for each value Where (function (row) row.c...

asp.net mvc - Dynamically Generated Ajax.BeginForm -

I have a problem with ASP.NET MVC Ajax forms. I generate many Ajax form in a table such as: & Lt; Input type = "submit" name = "activity" value = "add activity" / & gt; & Lt;%}% & gt; & Lt; / TD & gt; & Lt; / TR & gt; & Lt;%}% & gt; So far so good. When I post one of those forms, it gives a partial view in a div, and in this new partial view a new Ajax Beginnform (which is not in Genesis form) This second Ajax Beginnorf is exactly like the ones I got on the table, but when I post it, I do not get the "Ajax Post", but a normal post that sends me to a new page, I do not know whether the two Ajax forms What is the reason for the difference between, why is it the "dynamically generated" Ajax form behaves like a normal HTML form? By the way, I know that I can do it in different ways using javascript, but I would like to understand whether it can only be done using MVC helplars and Ajax lib...
