Go up one level in this thread


If you also want your interface to run on multiple platforms, you might want to
consider the following free options:

wxWindows

- mainly C++, but has bindings for lots of languages (e.g., python, ruby, etc.)
- allows you to compile for linux and mac os with little change to code

or

.NET (System.Windows.Forms)

- have wide choice of languages to use
- some free development tools like SharpDevelop (for C# and VB.NET languages)
  - also free Borland C# Builder (personal edition)
- should also run on linux in near future due to Mono and DotGNU projects
  - (without even needing to recompile the program!)

I should mention that I have zero experience with wxWindows and only a little
experience with System.Windows.Forms, so you might want a second opinion :)
