I'm in no way a UIL expert, but Gtk has something similar, based on XML. You can dynamically load an interface written in XML. There's even a GUI builder to generate the XML for you. The only potential problem is for callbacks, since you need to actually write them yourself, but then in a compiled language I don't see how it would work. Any idea welcome. Emmanuel
