With the failed efforts of BCBX, is there any chance we expect a wxWidgets Form Designer or some other solutions for cross platform ? Since Mac and Linux % is on the rise it makes sense to add cross platform support to BCB. I think at least this will be a big differentiator of BCB compared to VC++. -Kathire Back to top Remy Lebeau (TeamB) Guest Posted: Tue May 15, 2007 3:28 am    Post subject: Re: wxWidgets support from CG?

Hi Kathire: You can enter in the Beta program for BCB 2007, download the currect version of wxWidgets and report any trouble to CG. I hope it's not too late for that (since BCB 2007 has been anounced today for be available on 'early june').

I had one problem with the latest wx version and it was fixed immediatly after I reported it. I have created the precompiled libs for wx ( http://codepaks.sf.net ) and it works fine with TurboC++ and BDS 2006. I'm looking for a wxWidgets Form Designer for BCB. If CG is not going to create one, I'm thinking of rolling out one. -Kathire Back to top Kathire Guest Posted: Tue May 15, 2007 4:25 am    Post subject: Re: wxWidgets support from CG?

When I slapped the Form Designer in plain DevC++, I havent worked on any of the IDE issue(Editor, Compiler configuration etc) . After I start working on it, I found that fixing the IDE issues takes away most of your time that can be spent on creating the application you want to create. Although we have added VC++ debugger support (along with GDB support), the IDE as a whole is very fragile and not suitable for serious development. -Kathire Back to top Kathire Guest Posted: Tue May 15, 2007 5:00 am    Post subject: Re: wxWidgets support from CG?

Information given in the following link will be helpful. http://www.wxwidgets.org/wiki/index.php/Using_wxWidgets_with_Borland_CPP_Builder_5 I followed the above steps for TurboC++/BDS 2006 and it works fine. If you are using BDS 2006, then please tryout my Codepak. Thanks, Kathire Back to top Michael McCulloch Guest Posted: Tue May 15, 2007 5:20 am    Post subject: Re: wxWidgets support from CG?

I actually had tested wxDevC++ for some simpler apps and had some success. I was hoping to use it for something more serious, but your comments are discouraging. From what I saw, you are ahead of Borland's CBX. Why do you think CG could necessarily do better and/or get a return on the investment? --- Michael McCulloch Back to top Kathire Guest Posted: Tue May 15, 2007 5:30 am    Post subject: Re: wxWidgets support from CG?

Why do you think CG could necessarily do better and/or get a return on the investment? Believe it or not, for designing the wxWidgets Forms, I would bet any day on wx-DevC++ (because it simulates the Delphi/BCB designer). Even though I have created 5 serious applications using wx-DevC++ that are used extensively in my company, I dont use the IDE features like Code Editing, Compiler etc. I used to use VC++ for editing the code/ compiling the code and use wx-DevC++ for Designing the Forms. Since I started using BDS for compiling C++ code, I thought, having an integrated form designer will be of great help. -Kathire Back to top Alex Bakaev [TeamB] Guest Posted: Tue May 15, 2007 8:11 am    Post subject: Re: wxWidgets support from CG?

The compiler is slow, debugging is frustrating and on top of it, the Form deisgner is not as easy as Delphi/BCB. -Kathire Back to top Kathire Guest Posted: Tue May 15, 2007 12:56 pm    Post subject: Re: wxWidgets support from CG?
