如何在C＃GUI中嵌入C OpenGL应用程序？

Question

I have 3D OpenGL application written in C for Unix-like systems, it is working fine in Linux, but lacks GUI and is only controllable via keyboard. As far as I know C# GUI is the simplest and nicest and cutest to create and it's very easy to create nice gui in C# in Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate.

SO I decided I want to embed graphical application written in C OpenGL in C# application GUI, just something like this: http://img854.imageshack.us/img854/2773/qoyz.jpg

Of course I want to control C application from my C# GUI. It could be done any possible way I was thinking maybe about some dll file compiled from C OpenGL code?

I dont have any experience with that kind of stuff, so give me clear answers:)

Answer 1

You are probably going to need to create a managed code wrapper for your C project so that it can be accessed from C#.

See this previously asked question: Porting (unmanaged) C++ to C# vs. using the C++ as a DLL in a C# application

Answer 2

Have you tried Qt SDK ? With it you can create not less "cutest, nicest " GUI which is also c++ and cross platform, contrary to MS WinForms or WPF. In fact,many GUI based programs, like Maya or Aftereffects, use Qt
