Some other GUI libraries can be found at awesome-rust. There are bindings to libraries like Qt and Gtk. If you know the windows API, you could also check out the winapi crate. If you want to avoid messing with linking and stuff, you could try using a pure rust library like conrod, which should 'just work' on windows.

Oct 17, 2023 · I should add that I'm pretty new to rust in general, and so my problems might not be with understanding Iced specifically. I tried a few approaches, mainly these: Implement the custom widget trait for the octagon, based on the custom_widget example …

Apr 21, 2015 · When the Rust binaries are linked with the GCC toolchain, to start a program without spawning a command line window we need to pass the -mwindows option to the linker. Cargo has a cargo rustc mode which can be used to pass extra flags to rustc. Before that was introduced, there was no known way to pass an option to the compiler with Cargo.

Jan 12, 2015 · For this reason I'm writing GUI part in Objective-C and core part in Rust. The two can communicate via an obj-c library (article about this), but the languages are quite different, so it's a bit awkward. Rust can easily generate C-compatible static library which can be linked to an Objective-C program.

Dec 13, 2022 · If you use Rust's Command then you probably do (this is pseudo code): let mut cmd = std::process::Command::new("...."); cmd.status().expect("Something went wrong"); To capture the stdout (and stream from it) you can see this answer here on SO , which will show you how to use Piped() so you can use a BufReader to read the output.

Sep 5, 2023 · A third option is a windowless app (which is technically a GUI app, but without a window). This third option is usually used for things that only pop up in the system tray. Your program is the first time that I've seen the combination of an app that should behave like a GUI app but the GUI is the console. –

Sep 9, 2023 · The gui now refers to the library as a dependency via git URL. Locally everything builds as expected. My github pipeline of the gui however fails with a panic in the build script of the library, because it does not have diesel_cli installed. I am pretty confident that the build script was not run when I built the gui locally.

Dec 19, 2022 · I've got a Windows application with a GUI written in Rust and winapi. Despite its GUI, it behaves like a console application. When the exe file is started, a Command Prompt window pops up, and the application is run from it. This is not what I want; a main window should open instead, as in all real desktop apps.

Mar 6, 2021 · Using --cargo run --release successfully compiles the app and runs it, bringing up the GUI window for the app. However, when I manually open target/release/MyApp.exe , nothing happens. Checked when myapp.exe was last modifies shows that running --cargo run --release is updating the app.

Oct 17, 2023 · C# has legs for GUI development... but I would have to create complex socket connections as it would be difficult/messy to link a C# application with our existing C++ MFC communication stack code. I think VS2019 XAML is legs, but it looks like to use it I have to be in .NET newer Windows Runtime stacks, and not older MFC runtime.
