Lightweight C++ GUI Library

[INDEX索引](./INDEX.md)         [Download Single File](./longui_single_file.7z)
## Features in LongUI
  
**Light Weight**
  - main target on LongUI
  - static-link framework, helloworld bin-file-size less than 200kb
  - for this, **no c++ exception** in LongUI
  - **LongUI Single File** will be larger

**XML User Interface Language**
  - partially compatible Mozilla's XUL (XML part)
  - partially compatible CSS to get custom look
  - built-in script interface to support your own script-lang
  - more detail, see [XUL](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Tech/XUL)

**High-DPI Support**
  - dynamic dpi monitor(e.g: 2 different dpi monitor) support

**Accessible**
  - support accessible even it's light-weight

## LongUI
  
C++轻量级GUI库

## LongUI特点

**轻量级**
  - 这是LongUI的主要实现目标
  - 设计为静态库, helloworld二进制文件不足200kb
  - 为此, LongUI**没有使用C++异常**
  - **单文件LongUI** 会大一点

**XML User Interface Language**
  - 部分兼容 Mozilla的XUL (XML部分)
  - 部分兼容 CSS 用来显示自定义的样式
  - 内建的脚本接口用来支持自定义的脚本语言

**高DPI支持**
  - 动态支持高DPI显示器(比如两个显示器不同DPI)

**Accessible**
  - 没错! 即便是轻量级还是支持了Accessible!

**硬件加速支持**
  - 目前使用基于Direct2D的GPU渲染
  - 支持动态切换显卡(比如surface book, 微软SB)
  - 支持硬件加速的分层(允许透明)窗口(需要Win8.1以及以上)
