Hi
I need to develop user interface similar to car radio in windows. for that i
am looking for a programming language and/or development environment which
can help me in achieving the same.

I have the following in mind
1. C++ with MFC
2. C# .NET 2003
3. C#.NET 2005
4. XAML ( i don't know if it's right)

Please hit me with some ideas

Ok, bye
Hari
 
Hello Hari,

All items in your list is suitable for this. There is no difference in dev
enviroment.

C++ with MFC a bit hardcoding (I'd use WTL for the unmanaged solution) and
unmanaged.
C# is more adequate and handy. If you have no other requirements rather than
windows I think it's a best choise.
XAML is a bit raw and can be changed in any time till release.

You need to be more concerning about libs - wether to use smth 3rd parties
or write it by hand.
In any case you need to start from GDI+ technology

Michael, thanks for your views.

the presentation is going to be pretty complex bcos i need to design real
things as objects. my main concern is to avoid hard coding of presentation.
this is because just to change a co-ordinate i don't want to recompile my
s/w. Instead i am searching for a solution wherein which i change say some
settings in a file, which should reflect a change in UI.

Tougher days ahead...

Bye bye
Hari
 
Hello Hari,

Then u need to use XML based UI engines (till WPF release)
Look at MyXAML http://www.myxaml.com/
