[MonoDevelop] Gtk or Winforms?

[Jose Cornado]

Thanks!=20

We thought of targeting Gtk first but input is always needed and welcome.

We tried Winforms on mono a while back and got several out-of-memory
errors. We decided to delay the Gui logic development on mono for a
while.

I have been asked if our product  follows the capture-and-replay paradigm.

No. It is a totally new architecture that does not rely on input
devices. Thus, it does not miss a click :-}

It can test gui logic on and off the screen as well as strict api
logic with a minimal effort during test creation and guaranteed free
test execution (since it is part of the IDE build process)

The "workstation" version works as an unobtrusive add-in to VS/MD

We have a server version that is an early prototype.

Thanks a lot for your input,

Jos=E9
