When we will have statusbar, toolbar and menu? Is that new wxSmith expandable to add those components? If yes... This is not a problem :wink:

Sure, it should not be hard to add. I have got some generic idea on how to implement them already. The only thing that I'm worried about is that XRC standard doesn't support these extra things directly from frame/dialog. So there's possibility that it will be available only without XRC file (of course I'll add ability to edit it as separate resource :) )

byo:
Ok, wxMenuBar, wxToolBar and wxStatusBar are now supported. wxToolBar class may still have some serious bugs, I haven't tested it very well but for simple tasks (like creating toolbar with few icons) it worked fine.

There are still few things in my (and probably yours) wishlist: most important one is to add any preview inside editor (currently new items can be edited by double-clicking on it's icon in tools list or through resource and property browser), second thing is to add images support into menus. Third one will be to create separate resources for items, but this may be delayed a little bit becuase of first two "wishes" and some other things planned.

In the meantime I've checked xrc sources better and they support loading wMenuBar, wxToolBar and wxStatus directly into frame without need of external resource so also xrc-based resources support them.

If someone is interested in what's really going on in wxSmith, I've made some small web page wxsmith.ovh.org - this is only a scratch-pad I've written when I was sick of c++ and wanted to write something in some other language ;) Please do not consider it as a competition to forum, most things should go here, but I've thought that putting all that details into forum would be just messy.
