Proposition
« on: February 05, 2007, 11:43:01 am »
I've downloaded the wxFormBuilder and I wished to share my opinion on this tools. I found that it will be very cute if you and the wxFormBuilder teams works together to develop the Code::Blocks IDE to obtain a real IDE tool having the power of Microsoft IDE.

wxFormBuilder has its own forum at http://wxformbuilder.org/.

CodeBlocks has a developing form builder plugin called wxSmith.

I had a look at wxFormBuilder some time ago.
Although it has a nice and easy ui, I didn't like it, because of it's design choice to let the user implement event handlers etc. by subclassing the classes wxFormBuilder creates.

Seems to be that they are using Borland's GUI building strategy. I really like that strategy.

I took a look on to that stuff... And... it looks like a mix of monkey with motorcycle. They are using similar strategy to wxDevCpp, which is going from Borland's idea. But in Borland there is one advantage: it has C++ extantions like properties and pointers on to classes methods, given after published:. gnu gcc doesn't have those features. That is why I can say that wx Developers stacked  with limited MS C++ model of GUI development.

Yes thank you I know about the Url. But I'm talking about mixing the two projects into one to give a nice IDE. More powerfull than Microsoft. The power of the GPL Free Communities that they can works together and that's the nicer point of the Free Software.

Why join them? They work perfect side by side.

I am actually quite happy that Code::Blocks is not as powerful as Visual Studio (which takes about 2 minutes to start on my PC, let's not even talk about how much space it hogs on the hard disk).  :D

If  VS takes that much it's because of the huge number of functionnalities  :shock:
