dear imgui as a Qt Widgets Alternative?
The first thing that came into my mind was: why not simply go fully native, with the aid of something like WinLamb? Often you can roll your own custom controls quicker than a cross-platform library.

win32 api GUI share data
With WinLamb it's trivial: just create a field in the class.

I am currently working on win32 gui project on codeblocks , to give my already built s/w a form of frame based gui application software but I either keep on makings mistakes or my code is less effecient. Can anyone redirect me to some resource that can help me .
However, if you still want to go Win32, this library is a thin wrapper which may save you a lot of time (and sanity). However, it's C++, not C.

Rust takes a major step forward as Linux's second official language
I write C++ and raw Win32 for more than 20 years. I'm the author of this, and I'm rewriting my personal stuff in Rust just for fun.

Is WinUI the most modern GUI library for C++ desktop applications on Windows?
I wrote a very thin C++11 wrapper for Win32 a few years ago, in case you're interested: WinLamb. It won't do everything, it just covers window creation and messaging, and leaves room to plug any other Win32 stuff on top of it.

Windows System Programming
Take a look at WinLamb source if you want to see how to build a native GUI.

Your first Rust project: How bad was the first working version in the context of what you know about the language today? If given the ability to change those early days of learning Rust, what changes would you make?
Given my C++ Win32 background, the very first thing I tried was to write a native Win32 GUI app in Rust. It later became the WinSafe crate, which is strikingly similar to WinLamb C++ lib. The Rust experience was awesome. The correctness of the type system was something I really appreciated, things C++ cannot give you.
-
Which GUI platform and why?
I write native Windows stuff sometimes, and I use Windigo, which I wrote based on my WinLamb C++ lib. It's a GUI system over raw Win32, so this has the disadvantage that you'll have to learn some Win32... but it has the advantage that you have the unleashed power of Win32 at your fingertips.

Sorry... what diskette?
I know all that shit because I'm the author of Rust's WinSafe library, which is a safer Rust layer over native Win32, so I had to deal with a lot of shit like this.

What is Rust's potential in game development?
Externally, you can write a lot of native Windows stuff in Rust already. Personally, I'm having a lot of fun with WinSafe.
-
What are the scenarios where "Rewrite it in Rust" didn't meet your expectations or couldn't be successfully implemented?
If you had such problems (which I also had in the past), I'm really interested in you opinion about WinSafe, and if it could help you solving them.
-
Is there a more "traditional" desktop front end I can use with Tauri?
If you're after a native Windows application, WinSafe may suit your needs.

GitHub - ryanmcgrath/cacao: Rust bindings for AppKit (macOS) and UIKit (iOS/tvOS). Experimental, but working!
As the author of WinSafe, I can say it's tedious sometimes, but it's often very challenging, because you have to translate crazy unsafe behaviors into Rust's ownership model. It's surely hard, but also very rewarding at the end.

Microsoft is rewriting core Windows libraries in Rust
As the author of the WinSafe lib, I wholeheartedly agree.

A Proposal for Safe Window Handles
I don't know how rare this is (or how rare it should be), but this issue warned me about this potential problem, and I had to make a huge refactoring to treat the possibility. I had to rethink many aspects of all handle implementations. It was hard work, but in the end it was worth it.

Why is building a UI in Rust so hard?
WinSafe says hello.

Use ManuallyDrop in Rust to control drop order of structure fields
WinSafe, for example (which attemps to be a safe layer over the Windows API), provides lots of RAII automations. A fine example is the BeginPaint function:
