It would be nice if code::blocks would be support import of CodeWright project files.

Yes, it would be nice if Code::Blocks supported <insert name of 10 other IDEs> as well.

Unluckily, CodeWright is a closed source product owned and licensed by Borland "on an as-is, unsupported basis through the Web and the channel", and unmaintained as stated in their "open letter".

I don't own a copy of CodeWright, and there is no specification or documentation on the file format available on the web in a manner that would allow you to find it using a few simple Google searches (maybe it's hidden somewhere, maybe it does not exist).
Thus, I think it is rather unlikely that there will be any kind of support for CodeWright any time soon, or at all.

Maybe someone who owns a copy deems it important enough to contribute an importer, but at least I can't be bothered to spend many hours reverse-engineering the file format of an abandoned product that is sold but explicitely not supported (what kind of bullshit is is they're doing there, anyway...?).
