Hi,
   Yes, I've been doing a lot of research. And I still want to make a library. It seems a lot of work but at least I want to give it a shot.

Hi,
   There's even better, do you have any good examples I can work on? 




Do you really want to reinvent the wheel?


Qt, GTK, wxWidgets- its all libraries you can use.


Besides, there is nothing special about Wayland comparing to X.


Thank you.

   I just want to write a library. Qt is good enough to be used to write an excellent app, but that's not my purpose. I now study wayland at "https://wayland-book.com/introduction.html". And I need a good example to get start. Even though the menu, popup and mdi are basic elements, they are the foundation of almost every apps.




MDI concept is really outdated- it is windows'ism from XX century.


Right now even ms is using TABbed interface where every tav can be floated/docked.


Thank you.

Hey,   I want to write a GUI library like QT. And I want to directly use wayland and cairo/opengl. I can't find any good wayland app with menu, popup menu, and mdi. Can you give me some recommendation?




Why not use Qt?
Its already been ported to Wayland AFAIK...


Thank you.
