Hi.
I'm looking for a free RAD toolkit. I've tried GLADE (was it GLADE, the GTK+ RAD?), but it didn't work too well on my computer. I need one for Windows, and it would be a super plus if it was "cross platform," I.E. I make an Irrlicht tool for Windows, I could port it to linux or give it.
Any pointers would be appreciated. I started working with GDK+, but lost myself, Win32 makes no sense to me, etc.
I need a way to make a tool or utility or three quickly and relatively easily. Any help or pointers would be appreciated!
Free Rapid Applicaiton Develpment (RAD)
Try RealBasic, from what I have heard it is pretty good, but I've never used it myself.

A decent Python IDE would be my first choice, but I havent used any. (Boa Constructor looks nice). Python reads like basic, works like c++, and has libraries to abstract just about everything.
another idea - i know this isn't free and its about as dirty as they come... but if you've got ms office installed, you can make some pretty mean apps in vba. it's got a gui builder, command line, auto-completion and function help, and you can drop most activex controls in to your dialogs. I hate the beast as much as anyone but I have to admit VBA is pretty powerful. open excel, tools->macros->vb editor, right click->new form, squirt one out in ten minutes
