Glimmer DSL for WX (wxWidgets GUI Toolkit) Using wxruby3

Desktop
1

Glimmer gets a new GUI DSL in 2023 called Glimmer DSL for WX (Early Alpha 0.0.5 was built in 1 day) to support the very mature wxWidgets GUI toolkit that renders cross-platform native GUI controls using a brand new wxruby3 binding! You can learn more in the blog post below.

Hello, Button! Sample:

require 'glimmer-dsl-wx'

include Glimmer

frame { |f|
  title 'Hello, Button!'
  
  button {
    label 'Click To Find Who Built This!'
    
    on_button do
      about_box(
        name: f.title,
        version: Wx::WXRUBY_VERSION,
        description: "This is the Hello, Button! sample",
        developers: ['The Glimmer DSL for WX Development Team']
      )
    end
  }
}
