Vista software for Harbour
Harbour supports Vista Software's legendary, award-winning Apollo data engines now! Vista Software took over Apollo from Luxent (formerly SuccessWare International) in July of 1999 and have since re-engineered and re-designed Apollo to work with Delphi, Visual Basic, Active Server Pages, VBScript, Visual C++, Visual Interdev, C++Builder, and now also Harbour.
 

Apollo COM 6.1 can be used with Harbour via the TOleAuto() class to access CA-Clipper (DBF/DBT/NTX), FoxPro (DBF/FPT/CDX/IDX) and HiPer-SIx (DBF/NSX/SMT) data files.

Apollo engines can even connect to the new royalty-free Apollo Database Server for true client/server processing over LANs and over the Internet.

More information and a trial version of Apollo COM 6.0 can be found here http://www.vistasoftware.com.

ooHG
Object-Oriented Harbour Graphical interface. This is an object-oriented style conversion from the MiniGUI's library. Supporting existing code, and adding new and powerful advantages of the object oriented programming.

It offers a great flexibility for the well-know MiniGUI functionality, and a very easy way to add new features with the lesser affectation to working code (anyone can subclass any control and add it's own features to it).

HwGUI
Is a cross-platform GUI library for Harbour, it is written on C and Harbour.

HwGUI includes two versions - Win32 and Linux. Win32 version is based on direct calls of Win32 API - this allows to keep it quite fast and compact. Linux version is based on GTK, it supports the same set of classes, commands and functions as the Win32 version, though not all yet. Thus, using some base subset of HwGUI, you can create crossplatform GUI applications.

Currently Win32 version of HwGUI supports 5 C compilers: Borland C, MS Visual C, Mingw, Pelles C and Open Watcom C

wxHarbour
wxHarbour is a set of Harbour language bindings for wxWidgets. Providing a portable multi-platform GUI toolkit for Harbour.

Note: wxWidgets lets developers create applications for Win32, Mac OS X, GTK+, X11, Motif, WinCE, and more using one codebase. It can be used from languages such as C++, Python, Perl, Harbour and C#/.NET. Unlike other cross-platform toolkits, wxWidgets applications look and feel native. This is because wxWidgets uses the platform's own native controls rather than emulating them. It's also extensive, free, open-source, and mature.

HbWxW
HbWxW is a multiplatform GUI library for Harbour. It is built on top of wxWidgets platform GUI library, available on Unix like systems, Windows, MacOS and WinCE operating systems. wxWidgets is "An open source C++ GUI framework to make cross-platform programming child's play".

The main goal of HbWxW is to provide an easy to use GUI library, which can be utilized on all platforms xHarbour currently supports. That's why it is based on a library which gives you a single, easy-to-use API for writing GUI applications on multiple platforms.

HbWxW, like its underlying GUI library, is powerfull and efficient enough to realize the most common tasks, as expected by the average and advanced programmers. Its main advantage over other GUI libraries is the 'native look & feel' on all supported platforms, simplyfying application usage and giving users the same sense of comfort they are already used to.
