Howdy!

I am a new to these forums and would first like to say hello. Hello.
On with the show. I develop within a cross platform SDK which provides it's own GUI. The OS's I need to support are Mac OS9, OSX, WinNT and XP. The goal is to create an interactive menu system so users can easily navigate hundreds of parameters hierarchially. I have already written the navigation system but it resides within a window that has a titlebar. Within the SDK I am using you cannot create a window without a titlebar or transparent windows. I am currently seeking any books or resources that would assist me in adding these kinds of windows with basic ( very basic ) event loops. In the current incarnation it would require multiple borderless windows for each parameter group ( similiar to the help balloons with limited events ). My problem is that I cannot find a book or resources for assisting the OS specific GUI toolbox illiterate programmer complete these tasks. Any ideas or help?

Best Regards,

Qt and wxWindows are not platform specific. Investigate them.

Qt is found at www.trolltech.com
wxWindows is found at www.wxwindows.org
