Editing a wxAUI wxFrame. DialogBlocks supports wxAUI layouts
on frames, dialogs and panels, controlled by a set of properties
on a separate property editor page. DialogBlocks also supports the
wxAuiNotebook control.
|
|
|
|
Editing a build configuration, used to build projects and the wxWidgets libraries.
DialogBlocks supports most popular compilers: it generates makefiles and
invokes the compiler and (if successful) runs the built project, all by pressing the
green button on the toolbar.
|
|
|
|
Editing a wxWizard. Unlike most other GUI editors for wxWidgets, wizard pages are edited in-situ
rather than being edited separately and combined by user code. DialogBlocks can also edit
notebooks and property sheet dialogs in-situ.

The element catalogue provides an alternative method of inserting windows and sizers.
You can specify default values for common properties, for example if you usually
insert box sizers with no borders.
|
|
|
|
DialogBlocks provides a basic code editor for C++ and other files, with customisation for
tabs and highlighting colours, auto-indent and more. You can also edit your
files in an external editor or IDE, and DialogBlocks will reload changed files
as appropriate. You can edit the code that DialogBlocks generates, outside
the special comment blocks.
|
|
|
|
You can create 'custom control definitions' which tell DialogBlocks a bit about how third-party controls
behave, to make editing and code generation more accurate (it won't insert the actual external control).
You can optionally base the definition on an existing wxWidgets control and inherit its properties.
|
|
|
|
DialogBlocks can add event handlers, for you to fill in the details in the stub function. You can also choose
from a small number of predefined actions such as showing a window, and DialogBlocks will generate the appropriate
code. This helps you create a working prototype very quickly.
|
|
|
|
A setup wizard run on first running (and optionally later) will gather commonly-needed
information such as wxWidgets location and version, and will make an initial guess at
compiler locations.
