【首席架构师推荐】小部件工具包列表

本文提供了一组小部件工具包(也称为GUI框架)，它们用于构造程序的图形用户界面(GUI)，根据程序与各种操作系统的关系进行组织。

Low-level widget toolkits

Integrated in the operating system

• OS X uses Cocoa. Mac OS9 and OS X use Carbon for 32-bit applications.
• The Windows API used in Microsoft Windows. Microsoft had the graphics functions integrated in the kernel until 2006^[1]
• The Haiku operating system uses an extended and modernised version of the Be API that was used by its spiritual predecessor BeOS. Haiku Inc. is expected to drop binary and source compatibility with the BeOS at some point in the future, which will result in its own Haiku API.

As a separate layer on top of the operating system

• The X Window System contains primitive building blocks, called Xt or "Intrinsics", but they are mostly only used by older toolkits such as: OLIT, Motif and Xaw. Most contemporary toolkits, such as GTK+ or Qt, bypass them and use Xlib or XCB directly.
• The Amiga OS Intuition was formerly present in the Amiga Kickstart ROM and integrated itself with a medium-high level widget library which invoked the Workbench Amiga native GUI. Since Amiga OS 2.0, Intuition.library became disk based and object oriented. Also Workbench.library and Icon.library became disk based, and could be replaced with similar third-party solutions.
• Since 2005, Microsoft has taken the graphics system out of Windows' kernel.^[2]

High-level widget toolkits

OS dependent

On Amiga

• BOOPSI (Basic Object Oriented Programming System for Intuition) was introduced with OS 2.0 and enhanced Intuition with a system of classes in which every class represents a single widget or describes an interface event. This led to an evolution in which third-party developers each realised their own personal systems of classes.
• MUI: object-oriented GUI toolkit and the official toolkit for MorphOS.
• ReAction: object-oriented GUI toolkit and the official toolkit for AmigaOS.
• Zune (GUI toolkit) is an open source clone of MUI and the official toolkit for AROS.

On Macintosh

• Cocoa - used in OS X (see also Aqua).
• MacApp Macintosh framework.
• PowerPlant Macintosh framework.

On Microsoft Windows

• The Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC), a C++ wrapper around the Windows API.
• The Windows Template Library (WTL), a template-based extension to ATL and a replacement of MFC
• The Object Windows Library, Borland's alternative to MFC.
• The Visual Component Library (VCL) is Borland's toolkit used in its C++ Builder and Delphi products.
• Windows Forms is .NET's set of classes that handle GUI controls. In the cross-platform Mono implementation, it is an independent toolkit, implemented entirely in managed code (not wrapping the Windows API, which doesn't exist on other platforms).^[3]
• The Windows Presentation Foundation is the graphical subsystem of the .NET Framework 3.0. User interfaces can be created in WPF using any of the CLR languages (e.g. C#) or with the XML-based language XAML. Microsoft Expression Blend is a visual GUI builder for WPF.

On Unix, under the X Window System

Note that the X Window System was originally primarily for Unix-like operating systems, but it now runs on Microsoft Windows as well using, for example, Cygwin, so some or all of these toolkits can also be used under Windows.

• LessTif, an open source (LGPL) version of Motif.
• MoOLIT, a bridge between the look-and-feel of OPEN LOOK and Motif
• Motif used in the Common Desktop Environment.
• OLIT, an Xt-based OPEN LOOK intrinsics toolkit
• Xaw, the Project Athena widget set for the X Window System.
• XView, a SunView compatible OPEN LOOK toolkit

Cross-platform

Based on C (including bindings to other languages)

• Elementary, open source (LGPL), a part of the Enlightenment Foundation Libraries, a fast, stable, and scalable library that can be used to create both rich and fast applications that can be used on anything from every day desktop computers to small PDA's and set-top boxes.
• GTK+, open source (LGPL), primarily for the X Window System, ported to and emulated under other platforms; used in the GNOME, Rox, LXDE and Xfce desktop environments. The Windows port has support for native widgets.
• IUP, open source (MIT), a minimalist GUI toolkit in ANSI C for Windows, UNIX and Linux.
• Tk, open source (BSD-style), a widget set accessed from Tcl and other high-level script languages (interfaced in Python as Tkinter).
• XForms, the Forms Library for X
• XVT, Extensible Virtual Toolkit

Based on C++ (including bindings to other languages)

• CEGUI, open source (MIT License), cross-platform widget toolkit designed for game development, but also usable for applications and tool development. Supports multiple renderers and optional libraries.
• FLTK, open source (LGPL), cross-platform toolkit designed to be small and fast.
• FOX toolkit, open source (LGPL), cross-platform toolkit.
• GLUI, a very small toolkit written with the GLUT library.
• gtkmm, C++ version of GTK+
• Juce provides GUI and widget set with the same look and feel in Microsoft Windows, X Window Systems, OS X and Android. Rendering can be based on OpenGL.
• Nana C++, open source (Boost license), a cross-platform toolkit designed to enable modern C++ GUI programming
• Qt, commercial and open source (GPL, LGPL) available under Unix and Linux (with X11 or Wayland), MS Windows (Desktop, CE and Phone 8), OS X, iOS, Android, BlackBerry 10 and embedded Linux; used in the KDE, Trinity, LXQt, and Lumina desktop environment, it's also used in Ubuntu's Unity shell.
• Rogue Wave Views (formerly ILOG Views) provides GUI and graphic library for Windows and the main X11 platforms.

• Ultimate++ is a free Win32/X11 application framework bundled with an IDE (BSD license)
• The Visual Component Framework (VCF) is an open source (BSD license) C++ framework project.
• wxWidgets (formerly wxWindows), open source (relaxed LGPL), abstracts toolkits across several platforms for C++, Python, Perl, Ruby and Haskell.
