V is a free portable C++ GUI Framework intended to develop a wide variety of applications on different graphical interface platforms. It is very complete and suitable for a large majority of custom GUI applications. Applications developed using V will have the look and feel of the native platform, yet will be portable across platforms. V is availble under the terms of the GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE.

Most standard GUI objects are supported by V, including windows with menus, status bars, tool bars, and a drawing canvas; modal and modeless dialogs with the most common controls (buttons, lists, labels, text entry, check and radio buttons, etc.); and portable printing support.
