GTK <==> MS windows graphic system

[Klaus-D. Bohn]

Hello,

does everybody know if there are a library available that translate MS
windows graphic calls to GTK calls?

The reason is to transport software that is written in a MS windows
environment to move that to another system that use GTK only.

Is that possible?

Thank you very much for some hints.

I believe you want wxWidgets

http://wxwidgets.org/

Quoting the site:

wxWidgets lets developers create applications for Win32, Mac OS X,
GTK+, X11, Motif, WinCE, and more using one codebase.
It can be used from languages such as C++, Python, Perl, and C#/.NET.
Unlike other cross-platform toolkits, wxWidgets applications look and feel
native. This is because wxWidgets uses the platform's own native
controls rather than emulating them. It's also extensive, free,
open-source, and mature.

Enjoy

It sounds like what he wants is rather something which lets them use
existing software written to the windows api, under gtk... wxWidgets is
an entirely different api which must be written to specifically.

Yes, you did understand right.

I have no so much problems to change windows calls to the gtk calls.
But, i have so less experience with them. That is the problem.

A special library that transform/emulate/simulate windows graphic calls to
gtk calls that will be very easier and could a very nice sharm.
