VDK is a C++ wrapper for GTK+. VDKBuilder is a general purpose integrated development environment for constructing GUI applications using VDK. VDK was built as the base library for VDKBuilder and therefore implements an object hierarchy and API more suited to rapid application development. • the wxWindows/GTK package, which is a free C++ library for cross-platform GUI develop
