But GUI is so much more than that. It's delivering nice-looking dialogs to users, giving them a consistent look, showing them tooltips, etc., and sometimes using every support from the OS to make your app. as visually appealing as possible (for example, this could mean using ::AlphaBlend on Win2000). And lets not forget hyper links, HTML controls, splitters, bitmap buttons, easy tab dialogs, having your application on the sys tray, easy menu handling, and so on.
Which is why I like to use the native GUI system if available to develop the GUI. Every platform has its own quarks, and the users really can tell the difference. Jared McIntyre
