Does Code::Blocks comes with GUI design tools or plugins ?

Hi,

I think Code::Blocks is great, but the only problem that almost all the IDEs on Linux have is the lack of good GUI design tools. You can design your GUI with other tools like Glide, etc but We still dont have something powerful like IDEs for Java (NetBean, etc). Is it the problem with Linux or it doesnt worth the affort ?

Programming itself is complex these days and coding GUI makes it even more complex. I enjoyed programming Borland C++ 6 on Win and even Visual studio Express C++ (Free one).

Any way, I just wanted to know is there any plugin or if not, do you plan to make one ?     I have asked the same question from MonoDevelop IDE developers as well but they seems very confused.

Thank you.

Yes, there is a WIP GUI plugin for Code::Blocks.
It is for a cross-platform native-widgets GUI toolkit library called wxWidgets, the same Code::Blocks uses itself.

The RAD plugin for Code::Blocks is called wxSmith. Here is an screenshot.

All C::B plugins are available to both Linux and Windows.
AFAIK, the CodeCompletion and wxSmith plugins are Work In Progress, and not very stable on linux at the moment.

There is a free one called ResEd for windows resrouces. I use it. Works well, I just ad dit to my tool menu. You brought up windows and linux, so I'm not sure what exactly you want?  :?
