I'm amazed at the improvement rate of wxSmith! :D

So much, that I wanted to know how it compares to other products out there, even commercial ones.

I've compared the supported features and widgets of 5 RADs here in the WiKi: http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=Comparison_of_wxSmith_features

It is great to know that currently wxSmith support more widgets than let's say wxDesigner, which cost $129 and is made by Robert Roembling, one of the core wxWidgets devs. :)

I've compared other features such as Validators, Conditional UI, Event table and handler generation, Bitmaps support, English descriptions, Easy access to windows pointers, Template controls.

The RADs I've compared are: wxSmith, DialogBlocks, wxDesigner, wxFormBuilder, and VisualWx.

All in all, I'm impressed. Thanks byo and cyberkoa! Keep the good smith! :D

Nice job Takeshi Miya. I didn't check it thoroughly but have you double-checked it for errors (quite a lot 'yes'-'no' there ;)).
For example, in "Easy access to window pointers" you give wxSmith a 'no' when it clearly supports it (unless I understood it wrong). Is this correct?

takeshimiya:
Yes, you're right, I had doubts about Event table and handler generation and Easy access to windows pointers. Corrected now.

But as for other features and all the widgets, I'm almost sure they're right.

After all, that's why I put it in the WiKi, so others can correct or add any info :)

Michael:
Good job, really :). And very interesting. I was searching for such a tool (as Qt Designer), but to be used with wxWidgets. I did found some of the RADs you have listen, but was not so convinced. I have also played with wxSmith which I found interesting and was improving faster. Now it is my first option :).
