any encapsulation lib of irrlicht's gui module?

Post by michael520 »

As I know, the win32 windows api has a official encapsulation called MFC.

I wonder if irr::gui has some kind of encapsulations ?

I think it would be helpful for development!

MFC is just a normal c++ library from Microsoft. It has some GUI-Components which are indeed not much more than a weak encapsulation of the windows api. Sure you could put around some more libraries around Irrlicht, but compared to MFC, Windows-API you should see Irrlicht as sort of an encapsulation around OpenGL & DirectX. That's not all Irrlicht does (as well as MFC does more than just encapsulate windows api functions), but there's just no sense in putting another layer around irr::gui which already is part of an library.
