Java Forum / GUI / August 2003java vs MFC
Java/Swing or C++/MFC on windows ? Anything better ? Hi, it depends on what you want. The GUI-logic of the MFC is better because it is mature. But Java with Swing runs also on other machines.

Anything is better than MFC/C++! Java/Swing and C#/WinForms are about equals in what they do and how they do it, just do it a wee bit different from each other but are both nice.

C#/WinForms still ships with no layout managers at all. It's all absolute positioning. I still have not figured out how to do a form with lots of labels and text fields that all line up nicely and grow as you resize the window - without calculating the position and size of every widget individually. If you program Java/Swing applications for Windows platforms, I suggest you look at an alternate Windows look-and-feel class. The Windows look-and-feel that comes with the JDK leaves a lot to be desired. There's a really nice one called JGoodies Looks available at http://community.java.net/javadesktop/ Tilman > C#/WinForms still ships with no layout managers at all. It's all absolute > positioning.

I think they want your IDE (VS.Net, C#Builder) to do it for you. :P Hum, Yes C#/WinFlorm do not have layouts, but they do have other positioning / layout tools that do work great. I've found that I can produce the same results in both Java/C# with nested panels that use their respective positioning tools.

It is cross platform with a minimum of tweaking, free under Linux but costs $ under WinXX  Signature- GrayGeek Free MagazinesGet these publications absolutely FREE for up to 12 months.
