Hi Emmanuel,

   At the Australian Synchrotron we use a number of guis built using Borland Delphi.
They run natively on Windows as well as on Linux using wine.

  I have developed a number of CA aware components that can be just
drag-and-droped by the IDE at design time.

  If you are interested I can send you a copy of the framework code and
an example application, plus a few sparse get-you going notes.

Regards
Andy

Subject: epics GUIs (update)

Hello again,

I am trying to develop GUIs for a small epics control system (end-user
station). I am familiar with edm, medm, but am looking for something
which is more recent and slick.

Those days Channel Access have been developed for several 3rd party
programs (python, perl, matlab among others). Do those languages offer
easy GUI-design interface? In the case of python/tk or perl/tk, I have
never seen a drag-and-drop GUI builder.
It exists for matlab. But here the issue is licensing.
What about Qt? python/Qt and such?

What is the status of the java-based epics office?
How difficult/easy is it to develop GUIs?

Anything else I should be considering?

Is anyone using IN PRODUCTION something else than epics/(m)edm?
What about compiled GUI in matlab?

Thank you for your insight,
