I have made quite a lot of change to the program. The designer almost resembles the Delphi like designer. The program now generates Cpp source code for 3 types of components - Textcontrol, Label and Button. The program can also create a dev-CPP project file for the created Form. (support for other IDE Project files will be included in next version)Although, I havent received any feedback for my first posting, I'm hoping to get useful suggestions/feedback this time. -Kathire Back to top Ross Guest Posted: Mon Nov 17, 2003 9:22 pm    Post subject: Re: wxdialog Designer proposal - 2 Uploaded to where?

Quote: I noticed it opens the form code, but not the Application units. Do you plan on allowing one to modify the Application units in the designer, or is that all to be done with CBX? My designer is not as intelligent as Delphi or BCB. i have implemented the concept introduced with VC++ designer (modify the rc data and ad code to the space enclosed within some weird comments). I alway had the QT designer (for VC++ 6.0) concept in mind, ie, you can edit all your code with your favourite editor and invoke the designer only when it is required (from the Project Manager). Quote: I have not tried compiling the generated code yet. I have tested the code using VC++ 2003 and Dev Cpp (the designer can also create a project file for Dev-Cpp) Quote: Can this interact directly with CBX, so you can have CBX running connected to your designer in real time, and compile in CBX while the form is still loaded in your designer? I dont know whether you can execute an external program from the CBX project manager, if someone know how to do it,let me know, I can include all the details in the help. As I said before, VC++ allows other programs (or designers) to be invoked directly from the project manager (by clicking the form file), so you should not have any problem. The only nagging thing about this is , when ever the form designer make changes to the cpp/h files, your ide/editor will ask you to confirm the reload of the modified version. Quote: (You never know when Borland will pull the plug on their designers for the essentially free personal version of CBX). Thats true. Even I dont want to spend 1k for getting a form designer alone. If anyone want to help me with this project, please let me know. We can finish of the basic component design asap. What you have to do ,is create delphi components with some modified properties and attach them to the designer. -Guru Back to top Doug Tinkham Guest Posted: Tue Nov 18, 2003 6:05 pm    Post subject: Re: wxdialog Designer proposal - 2 "Kathire" <kathire-has-no-email (AT) email-server (DOT) com> wrote Quote: You can grab a copy from http://www-ec.njit.edu/~grk4352/wxdlg/wxdlgdsgn.zip got it, worked great.

Marcelo I concur. This is fantastic. Exaclty what I need to start using wx Your doing a great job. Who knows perhaps we will all be buying from Kathire Inc rather than Borland inc ;) Back to top Doug Tinkham Guest Posted: Tue Nov 18, 2003 11:33 pm    Post subject: Re: wxdialog Designer proposal - 2 "Marcelo R.

Although several have said that the preview designer will be available for download, even for the 10$ personal edition, my hunch is that Borland will not allow the final designer to be used with a $10 personal edition. In that case, you designer may become critically important to folks such as myself, researchers that want simple but powerful user interfaces (I don't need all the internet/database/pda controls and the like) to use in a powerful, integrated debugging environment like CBX with a top-notch compiler and multi-platform capability. The one main component I need that is not considered 'standard' is a powerful plotting component. So, is it likely that you will eventually be able to get wxPlot integrated into your designer, sort of like how TeeChart is integrated with the BCB designer? That would be just what I need to go the wxWindows route. Doug Back to top G.B.R.

Below is the relevant information: Not sure what this actually means. I'm using the latest stable release of JVCL. The problem seems to occur in one of the JVCL unit. I dont know any compatability issue with JVCL + Delphi 5 standard (which is used to create the designer). -G Kathire Back to top Andrew Walsh Guest Posted: Wed Nov 19, 2003 2:29 am    Post subject: Re: wxdialog Designer proposal - 2 excellent beginning - congratulations and good luck!
