Package: wnpp Severity: ITP Package description: wxFormBuilder aims to be an application that as well as enabling visual development and generating the corresponding code, allow the inclusion of non-graphical components, as well as providing facilities for extending the set of widgets easily via plugins, like other applications such as qt-designer.
An interesting aspect of wxFormBuilder, is the storage of the information in XML documents instead of embedding it in the code itself. This, as well as simplifying the applications code, eases the the further modification of both the properties of an object and the generated code without needing to recompile. The code generation makes use of a series of templates defined in the document of the class information, which are processed to generate the corresponding code. The code generator includes a small parser that allows us to use in the templates a simple set of directive to be able to process functions such as referring the an objects properties, do a conditional code generation, bucles, and other possibilities.
