wxFormBuilder Description

Open source Designer, GUI Builder, and RAD Tool For wxWidgets wxWidgets is an excellent framework that enables the creation of multi-platform applications with and without a graphical user interface. There are several applications that help create dialogs visually, even so, some practical problems have led me to start the development of a new application. Those problems include, the limited set of widgets or the impossibility to include non-graphical components.wxFormBuilder aims to be an application that as well as enabling visual development and generating the corresponding code, allow the inclusion of non-graphical components, as well as providing facilities for extending the set of widgets easily via plugins, like other applications such as qt-designer.An interesting aspect of wxFormBuilder, is the storage of the information in XML documents instead of embedding it in the code itself. This, as well as simplifying the application's code, eases the the further modification of both the properties of an object and the generated code without needing to recompile.The code generation makes use of a series of templates defined in the document of the class information, which are being processed to generate the corresponding code. The code generator includes a small parser that allows us to use in the templates a simple set of directive to be able to process functions such as referring the an object's properties, do a conditional code generation, bucles, and other possibilities. Here are some key features of "wxFormBuilder": · What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG) · Clean and simple design. · Ability to add your own controls. · Wizard to generate the needed inherited class for the GUI code generated by wxFormBuilder. Check 'Tools->Generate Inherited Class' menu item for more details. · Use the Connect() method or the event table for creating events. · Ability to add your own event handlers for most controls. · Easily add more events through external xml files. No need to re-build. Requirements: · wxWidgets 2.8.0 or later
