About this fork

This is just a quick placeholder for the moment. I may work on customizations at some point but for the time being this is just a straight fork of the original Atk package from visualfc.

Usage

I haven't spent any time resetting the internal module references so it won't work directly yet. At the moment the only change is the cgo settings which point the tk libraries away from the deprecated MacOS tk framework and to a custom install of Tk via Homebrew on the Mac platform. To use this, just clone the repo somewhere and then add a line to your project's go.mod file:

replace github.com/visualfc/atk => /my/path/to/where/I/cloned/this/atk

This way your code still imports as

import "github.com/visualfc/atk/tk"

but will pick up the forked copy instead, without changing anything else (and can be built on other platforms without the replace statement to use the stock visualfc version).

)

type Window struct {
	*tk.Window
}

func NewWindow() *Window {
	mw := &Window{tk.RootWindow()}
	lbl := tk.NewLabel(mw, "Hello ATK")
	btn := tk.NewButton(mw, "Quit")
	btn.OnCommand(func() {
		tk.Quit()
	})
	tk.NewVPackLayout(mw).AddWidgets(lbl, tk.NewLayoutSpacer(mw, 0, true), btn)
	mw.ResizeN(300, 200)
	return mw
}

func main() {
	tk.MainLoop(func() {
		mw := NewWindow()
		mw.SetTitle("ATK Sample")
		mw.Center(nil)
		mw.ShowNormal()
	})
