Just found this amazing project. I wish I had found it sooner LOL
I've written this application that helps me manage my invoices and purchases, but it's c#... using sqlite and a migradoc/pdfsharp.
I would Love to be able to port it over to U++, as I'm now running on a linux kernel full time and would like a native app.
I'm attaching a screen shot of my program, any help / pointers etc in getting started here would be appreciated (I haven't found a fitting multi-window example yet). The menu window is the main window, with child windows for each feature.

I have attached a multiwindow (non-modal) GUI example which covers the basics for what you describe above (menu, child windows for each feature, general key handling).
Just open the zipped package and put it into your U++ working directory.
As to your project, unless you use some specific library, the conversion should be straightforward (possibly even simpler than the C# version. )

I have just begun recreating my application using Ultimate++... I have a ways to go, but I have the structure worked out I believe. I will include a screenshot here, and will gladly upload source when it is more complete.
I advise you to begin doing a rather complete version of just a bit of your application to allow us give you better/faster/sooner feedback.
This way you will later simply include the new tested features to all the rest of your application.
