is there wxformsbuilder plugin?

I was wondering, there is a way to generate a codeblocks projects for wxforms builder, but there is no corresponding editor.  Is that generation just to setup the compile/link setting and you have to use the external application, or is there a way to integrate it within code::blocks like wxSmith?

The wizard generates files that make it easy to use wxformbuilder and code::blocks together, but you still need to use wxformbuilder as a standalone application.

...which you can easily integrate into the tools menu by yourself... so it's like "plugged in". ;-)

well, I don't like wxformsbuilder anyway.  I guess I'm used to windows forms that it's pretty weird not having a solid tool for building gui.  I like wxSmith but it seems like it's missing important layout functionality.  I can handle the code, but the layout first is pretty important.

Not really. With the XRC concept that is implemented in wxWidgets it makes sure sense. Why? Cause the XRC file seperates the UI from the code. Thus you can use the XRC file with your Python code, C, C++, .NET - whatever. So it makes perfect sense to have a stand-alone tool for the UI only.
