Small C header only wrapper over windows native graphical widgets without spoiling tradition. Currently few widgets are supported even with few properties.
Most ui libraries are written in C++. There were few C libs, even those of mostly very low level or with dirty syntax. Natforms itself uses low level apis, but wrapping it an easy way. Calling natform is same as calling native apis directly. So there is less gap. Whereas, most managed ui libraries create an huge gape between operating system api, thus causing performance issues.
button button1 = Button();
button_setParent (&button1, parent);
button_setX (&button1, 10);
button_setY (&button1, 10);
button_setWidth (&button1, 200);
button_setHeight (&button1, 30);
button_setText (&button1, L"Button1");
button_draw (&button1);Output:
