    Managed Windows Forms

    History

    Managed Windows Forms is the new name for System Windows Forms which is a clean implementation of SWF which was originally implemented using winelib. As targetting winelib was akin to hitting a moving target, it was scrapped and started again.

    MWF really has come on...

    Current problems with it

    Managed Windows Forms test image

    The image to the left was written and compiled on Wed 19th Jan 2005 using the version of MWF in the current SVN head. The only part missing is DateTimePicker. The source code for this image is here and the executable is here.

    Obviously, DateTimePicker is not there and if you look at the picture, the text on the tabs is in the wrong place. However, clicking on the second tab corrects this problem completely!

    The second problem is that there is a box on there for the focus on either a checkbox or radiobutton. This is very annoying.
