I also noticed this.

When I first used wxSmith several months back, it promptly crashed the application. Usually, if something crashes, I don't give it a second try, but for some reason I did here.
In the particular case of wxSmith, I daresay that your judgement is entirely unfair. wxSmith is indeed a lot better than a commercial design program for wxWidgets which I foolishly paid 129 Euros for.
There is another, somewhat cheaper (around 66 Euros) commercial design program which admittedly has more features and supports way more controls (and it is a standalone RAD/IDE), but it is a lot more awkward to use, too.
Compared to wxSmith, I don't see how it justifies its price, I'd never pay for a GUI builder again after using wxSmith.

Actually, it is not a judgement, but an observation. The workspace keeps forgetting to redraw or draws a dark square. If I can't see the controls, it is indeed unusable for me. I must add I am using the nightly builds. Don't know if that matters, but you might be using a different wxSmith altogether.
Anyway, I hear the author is working on something new, so he must have felt there was room for improvement as well.
As for now, I have been trying wxFormbuilder for a while now and it gets the job done very well. No crashed yet. I can keep Codeblocks and wxFormbuilder open at the same time, make an adjustment in wxFormbuilder, rebuild in Codeblocks and see the result immediately. I can even open the XRC file
One thing I have not been able to fix though is that the dialog is 'pushed down' by the title bar, making the bottom 'drop off'. And I have old style (non-XP) controls. Whereas wxSmith displays a preview of the same XRC just fine.

Can you add this as an bug in the wxFormBuilder issue tracker. Thanks.
manmach:
Are you saying this is a bug in wxFormbuilder? So what exactly is it producing that it should not? Or vice versa?
I will try to add it later. I noticed I need to register and do not have the time right now to figure out exactly what the consequences of that will be.
