wxSmith not a Delphi like form designer?

Ok, I must play with wxDevC++ to see you idea. The only thing that worries me now is that wxWidgets mostly focus on sizers and may not provide things you want directly. If that could be implemented in any way, there won't be a problem but if that can not be done, I won't be able to do anything.

The only thing I can give you now (read in short time ;) ) is background of window with grid and snap-to-grid feature and creation of items with pointing by mouse.

Hey byo,

What do you think about modifying the "Identifier" property a little bit?
An editable drop down list with items like wxID_ANY, wxID_OK, wxID_CANCEL, wxID_ABOUT etc would be great
Also, please allow two controls to have the same identifier (currently have a menu and a popup menu with some identical items) 8)

Back to topic: I really like (wxWidgets) sizer system cause I don't have to care much about control position coordinates and sizes (was a pain with MFC).

Greetings raph

That could be done

And that may introduce some serious problems (for example to find widget inside window loaded from XRC file propertly, you CAN NOT specify same identifiers for multiple objects). Of course in some circumstances it won't be a problem, but they must be clearily defined. I'm working on other features now, so just give me some time :)

And that's why it's worth of learning about sizers. It may be hard for beginners, but will help much during the future development process. In short time it becomes clear that you have to work less to understand how sizers work than to face all problems that will occur when you don't use them (just like automatic layout when resizing window).

You're right, I haven't thought about xrc :?.
So could you allow multiple wxID_ANY?
Don't want to have a member var for every control (e.g. panels, static texts) in my window class  :D
