Hawkynt.NativeForms.Backends.Gtk

NuGet NuGet downloads License CI

The Linux backend for NativeForms: a reflection-free, source-generated P/Invoke layer that renders NativeForms controls through native GTK 3 widgets.

📦 Installation

dotnet add package Hawkynt.NativeForms.Backends.Gtk

This is a backend for NativeForms. Install the core package too — it carries the controls. It compiles on any operating system but needs GTK 3 present at run time.

✨ Features

  • Renders NativeForms controls on Linux through GTK 3.
  • The window and the text-bearing primitives are real GTK widgets; every other control is owner-drawn in the platform's visual style.
  • Reflection-free and source-generated, so it survives trimming and NativeAOT.
  • Referenced but never registered, the whole backend is dropped again by the trimmer.

🚀 Quick start

Register the backend before creating a window. Registering more than one is fine: an application can carry every platform it ships on.

using Hawkynt.NativeForms;
using Hawkynt.NativeForms.Backends;
using Hawkynt.NativeForms.Backends.Gtk;

BackendRegistry.Register(new GtkBackend());

var form = new Form { Text = "Hello", Bounds = new(0, 0, 320, 160) };
Application.Run(form);

📚 API reference

Every public and protected member of all 1 type, generated from the built assembly and its XML documentation, is in REFERENCE.md.

🔌 Dependencies

Package Why
Hawkynt.NativeForms The controls, layout and backend abstraction this package implements.

Runtime requirement: Linux with GTK 3 installed. The package does not bundle GTK.

⚠️ Limitations

  • GTK 3 must be present on the target machine; it is not bundled.
  • Compiles anywhere, runs only where GTK 3 is available.
