The native widgets used on Windows are the Common Controls—the same used by the Walk library that we explored in detail in the Chapter 4, Walk - Building Graphical Windows Applications. As they are native to the operating system, no installation is required when using Windows Vista or later. If you want to support earlier versions (back to Windows XP), it's possible if you install at least version 6.0 of ComCtl32.dll.

Andlabs UI, like many of the other toolkits featured in this book, requires the presence of CGo to utilize native libraries. On a full development system, it's likely that this is already set up. If you're unsure, or would like a reminder of how to set up the Cgo dependencies, please check Setting up CGo section from the Appendix, Installation Details.
