question about UI

[fatysekDesign]

I write a plugin for Photoshop CS5 (for windows and mac) and I have a question about UI.
I must use Winapi or somethink like this or ADM (adobe dialog manager) ??

please help! thanks!

ADM is gone, don't use it.

Beyond that, we don't have much guidance -- use whatever UI toolkit you like.

any suggestions which one UI toolkit  to choose? for windows and for mac?

We've chosen to use Trolltech's Qt quite a few years ago and have absolutely no regrets so far. YMMV, of course.

[fatysekDesign]

can you tell me how to do in QT proxy view? how to connect this with Dissolve filtre?

Qt distribution is shipped with an extensive collection of examples; you'll have to look at these that use QPainter  and QImage to provide an image preview and viewport management. I would also suggest using API provided by Photoshop to generate the base image at the required resolution, since it obviously does it way better than Qt  in terms of performance, especially for large images.
