Title: Quick question about wxSmith
Post by: nightshadow89 on March 16, 2012, 04:35:16 pm

I've been playing around with wxSmith for a bit, and I've noticed that while changing the .wxs file (via the GUI designer) would result in changes to code, but changing the code would not have the changes reflected in the .wxs file.

I'm just curious, is there a way for code changes to be reflected in the .wxs file? If not, is this planned as a feature?

No, it is not planned, because it is almost impossible to implement.

Thanks for your answer. I was wondering about it because I'm actually coming from C# where this was possible. I do understand that it is a fairly difficult thing to implement; it's just that it can be convenient sometimes.

I'm actually coming from C# where this was possible.

Now count the developers, the business model and the age of (Visual-)C(#) and compare it with C::B (and other free IDE's). This is something you don't do in the first place. In addition C# is based on a CLI which s certainly helpful, too.
