Add GUI to C::B
« on: February 17, 2011, 09:11:30 pm »
What is the preferred way to add new user interfaces (dialogs) to C::B?
1. wxSmith
2. XRC + hand made code
3. something else?

If it is XRC + hand made code, how do you edit the XRC file?

1. wxSmith
Definitely. It used to be XRC, but wxSmith is way more modern and in fact we should clearly support our own UI designer in the end, shoudln't we?! ;-)

I've designed a lot UI's using wxSmith meanwhile - I see no issues.

I've just found that editing XRC with wxSmith is way better than wxFormBuilder and XRCed :)

wxSmith is excellent. It does what I need. My only worry is if it is being maintained?

Update: Sorry, noted afterwards that this was about adding GUI to C::B, something I have not done. wxSmith is still my preferred GUI editor in general.
