Hi,
I'm looking for some help in updating my wxdialog designer program.
Couple of weeks back, I modified the Dev-cpp source code to add support
for an inbuilt wxdialog designer (So that dev-cpp will have a form
designer, class browser, code-completion and project management
features out of the box).
Even though dev-cpp is written in Delphi, people experience with VCL +
Layout management can give a helping hand. I guess people using C++ are
very much experienced with layout management.
Any help with is highly appreciated.
You can find a hacked version of Dev-cpp (with the wxdialog designer)
(executable + source) at
g.yi.org/f.php
(Dont forget to read the readme files listed in the site)

One thing though, i've noticed that you're not actually using sizers at all
(at least that I could find). Do you plan on adding these in at all? Its a
bit of a necessity..
eyeballs with other work right now. If I can get back on schedule I'll send
you an email.

If you want to work on a wx visual designer and have time for it, why not
volunteer on one of the wx IDE's in development? I would be more interested
in a cross-platform IDE built with wxWidgets than a Windows only IDE build
inDelphi when working with wxWidgets. wxWorkshop or Code Dragon can need
some help.

Apart from that I'm a wx newbie and I want to utilize my Delphi
knowledge to the full extent to kick start with wx. I just want to make
a replica of Delphi so that I can make a smooth transition (at least
for designing GUI). Of all the available designers (including the
commercial ones) nothing matches Delphi's flexibility. With Delphi, I'm
able to complete the basic IDE framework within couple of months. I'm
pretty sure the current form of the IDE can produce a decent app with
in minutes.

some help with the VCL + Layouts.
VisualWx project ( visualwx.altervista.org ) has a free form
based sizer designer. I'm sure a similar thing can be implemented with
Anchors and Alignment properties tweak in VCL. I'm hoping that someone
with good knowledge on that can help me.

Hi Kathire
I had a look at your program running it under Wine (Linux).
Although the main menu did't work, I saw enough to be impressed.
Maybe it could be made wine compatible or even compiled with Kylix.
Synedit is ready.
Great!

version. I'm using extlib for designing the forms which is purely a VCL
component.
It seems the previous version had some problem hen adding event
handlers, I have fixed the problem now. if you are interested, have a
look at it.
