Hiyaz:D

I have been using FOX Toolkit and I would really like to create a RAD plugin for that in CodeBlocks, since after all the IDE includes Dev-C++ DevPak support, and FOX is one of the DevPaks. Plus, I find FOX less cumbersome than Wx. I am sure this would be a useful extension of CodeBlocks. However, I can't understand the code layout of the SDK. Could someone like give me an intro to the SDK organization i.e. which parts of the IDE each header-file or method is related to?

the puzzled newbie

That really sounds great! This would be the second RAD plugin then. I do not now many IDE's that support more then one GUI toolkit.
But back again to your question: I'm not an exoert in the SDK but what helped me a lot is the Doxygen documentation you can create right out of the SDK sources. If you are familiar with Doxygen than all you need to do is to run sdk.doxy with it. I tweaked the settings in the file a bit to see even more.
If you are not familiar with Doxygen then download it here: http://www.doxygen.org. To produce the graphs you'll also need: Graphviz from here: http://www.graphviz.org (the webpage is currently down, but will be back soon - at least I hope so). Basically all you have to do then is to run Doxygen with the sdk.doxy file.

ToAll: I could provide a "SDK.chm" file on a regular basis (every week or so). I guess this would be useful for users not knowing about Doxygen and things. Can I upload this file (~5MB) somewhere?

Edit: Fixed typos.

Alright, I guess I've forgotten to tell an important thing: To generate the Doxygen documentation on the source code, you'll need the source code. Thus, you have to check-out the C::B sources from the SVN repository. Please have a look in the WiKi how to do so. If you've done that then the sdk.doxy will be in the "src" folder (...ord you do a file search.)
