gtkmm is the official C++ interface for the popular GUI library GTK. Highlights include typesafe callbacks, and a comprehensive set of widgets that are easily extensible via inheritance. You can create user interfaces either in code or with the Cambalache User Interface designer, using Gtk::Builder. There's extensive documentation, including API reference and a tutorial.

其它 gtkmm 相关的库

gtkmm is a GUI toolkit and nothing more, and it strives to be the best C++ GUI toolkit. That mandate does not cover generic C++ data structures, an XML parser, or database access. Even our signal/slots system is part of a separate (libsigc++) library. However, gtkmm is designed to work well with all other C++ libraries.

Be sure to check out our companion libraries, glibmm (UTF8 strings, etc), pangomm (font layout), libsigc++ (signal/slots) and libxml++ (XML parser).
