U++, formally known as Ultimate++ - is a C++ RAD framework that aims to reduce the code complexity of typical desktop applications by extensively exploiting C++ features. Programs created with it can work on multiple operating systems and hardware architectures without the need to write platform-specific code. It possesses an integrated development environment called TheIDE that is designed to handle all library features. The major U++ features are: Includes an IDE with a layout designer. Uses heavily RAII and auto pointers-like mechanisms to avoid manual memory management and even to limit the use of pointers in the code Can emulate native widgets look and feel. On X11 systems, Ultimate++ supports GTK+ widgets look and feel. The standard distribution comes with U++ sources included, even the IDE ones. Uses as a template system instead of STL. Built-in support for databases, with libraries for connecting to various database systems. Designed for high-performance application use cases with a low memory footprint and efficient use of system resources. Retains backward compatibility, allowing developers to upgrade to new versions of the framework without breaking existing code. Provides full support for Unicode, allowing developers to create applications that can handle different languages and character sets. Easy to integrate with other libraries, including third-party libraries and legacy code. Document editor for writing documentation for people to understand the code or what you're working with. Code assisting is built-in to it. Auto-completion and other functions work on it. Creating icons for your application is possible without much work.

GTK

GTK (formerly GIMP ToolKit and GTK+) is a free and open-source cross-platform widget toolkit for creating graphical user interfaces (GUIs). It is licensed under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License, allowing both free and proprietary software to use it. It is one of the most popular toolkits for the Wayland and X11 windowing systems. The GTK team releases new versions on a regular basis. GTK 4 and GTK 3 are maintained, while GTK 2 is end-of-life. GTK1 is independently maintained by the CinePaint project.

WxWidgets

wxWidgets (formerly wxWindows) is a widget toolkit and tools library for creating graphical user interfaces (GUIs) for cross-platform applications. wxWidgets enables a program's GUI code to compile and run on several computer platforms with minimal or no code changes. A wide choice of compilers and other tools to use with wxWidgets facilitates development of sophisticated applications. wxWidgets supports a comprehensive range of popular operating systems and graphical libraries, both proprietary and free, and is widely deployed in prominent organizations (see text).
