Native Windows GUI VS n-link

On windows, I'll probably use https://github.com/gabdube/native-windows-gui or https://github.com/microsoft/windows-rs both of them seem pretty solid.

https://github.com/gabdube/native-windows-gui isn't in the list but is quite a polished option for building Windows specific GUIs.

My crate native-windows-gui supports tray application, if you only care about Windows. Example: https://github.com/gabdube/native-windows-gui/blob/master/native-windows-gui/examples/system_tray_d.rs

Created a small resident windows program that shows a different icon depending on battery level test how easy using windows-rs and native-windows-gui is. Picked this as an easy learning project after seeing Battery Buddy for macOS.

native-windows-ui => https://github.com/gabdube/native-windows-gui

If you only need to support Windows desktop, then let me shill my crate: native-windows-gui. It's super lightweight and it wraps pretty much all the gui stuff provided by win32. Just note that isn't really customizable look-wise.

Is this for the TI-84 Plus CE or TI Nspire CX? You can try ticalc.link or N-link https://lights0123.com/n-link/

Try using N-Link

Or even this should work https://lights0123.com/n-link/

That doesn't work all too well with Nspire series. Using TI's own online program or my N-Link are generally much more reliable.

If you actually have a Nspire CX II CAS then you can use the open source alternative N-Link: https://github.com/lights0123/n-link

I believe you only have to pay TI if you buy your Nspire used. New calculators come with a key in the box so you can activate the student software without a subscription. Even if you get a used one, there's an open source, free alternative called N-Link: https://github.com/lights0123/n-link It's what I use since I got my Nspire used and TI refused to provide a replacement student software key to me.

The Nspire CX II (CAS) will still work with any student software on any machine, it's not locked to a specific system. The issue is that TI will refuse to provide a student software key for used calculators unless you have the original receipt. I already went though this and my advice is, don't waste your time contacting them. There's an open source, free alternative called N-Link which works wayyyy better for transferring files and updating the calculator. I've personally been using it without issue: https://github.com/lights0123/n-link

For the CX-II this website works, although buggy at times: https://lights0123.com/n-link/
