extJS is what I am currently using but it's limited due to the environment it executes, so I am considering desktop solutions, here are some I am familiar with already:
1. RealBasic
2. VisualC++
3. VB
Visual C++ is way to elaborate and complex for what I need. RealBasic might work I haven't spent a lot of time reviewing it. Visual Basic is probably over kill as well. Ideally all I need is a framework as specific and light weight as extJS but complied into native Window/Linux/Mac application buttons, dialogs, etc. And the ability to perform registry updates, etc.
A powerful GUI designer would be a real plus, something as simple as access where I can literally click and drag to build the interface but instead of data sources i'm linking to JSON API
Anyone know of anything else? I should note that I am not looking for anything language specific, but I would prefer to avoid C/C++ frameworks like wxWidgets, Borland, Qt and any others. I would prefer a BASIC or similar language but the focus should be on the GUI builder being powerful and easy to use.
Cheers,
Alex
