Gui Ide

[packetVB]

Anyone know if there are currently any good IDE with a GUI designer besides the MSVC and the one by BORLAND (cant remeber the damn name).

This link:
http://www.mingw.org/links.shtml
contains a list of IDEs for MingW.

This looks pretty good, too:

CornedBee,

Thanks. There are alot of IDE's out there. Ive tried a few and none had a integrated GUI designer.
I was curious if there was something out there for c++ like vb6.0 is for basic.
I wanted to check before I get to far into making one myself.


thanks

Nothing usable, besides Borland's Builder.

C++ isn't for RAD development, so most people don't like graphical interface designers, which is why there aren't many.

There are some gui editors for the wxWidgets library, I haven't used any of them though

I am working on a friendly VB style class set for C++.

It aint GUI. But it is bloody simple, the hardest part will be lining your object up, which...aint to hard. All you gotta do is alter to top,left,width,height just like in VB.

I have all the complicated stuff sorted out, all thats left is to design an event manager that anyone! can write and junction to the class's...Just like VB you will be able to write a Command1_Click() and junction it to the proper control...easy stuff

I love how VB worked nicely for Win32 APPS...I hate it in C++, so I sought out to create a VB style control set and FORM manager.

I am goona post a DLL soon I think for anyone to check out.
Maybe the source as well.
Remember to check it out

Halsafar,

Seems we are working on exactely the same thing.
Ive been working on this same idea for several months.
I plan on taking it a step further by making a basic style sytax conversion to c++ program. Actually already started it, Id say its only about 30% done.

For the Library Ive completed Form,MdiForm,TextBoxes,Labels,CommandButtons, ComboBoxes, ListBoxes, ListView and Frames.
Ive also got an GUI IDE in the works that will write out the c++ code to the code editor for the GUI created.

Maybe we can join up to exchange ideas and/or combine our projects.

You can check out what Ive done so far on my web page.
Look at the vsBasic under the projects menu. (Though the source code is not updated for a few months.)
I definetly want to change the name
