Hi everyone,

I tested Tibco some days ago and saw this nice little GUI Builder say have.
But has far I can could see there lib isn't better then Qooxdoo, so why
hasn't qooxdoo such a GUI Builder? :)

So I tested for myself if qooxdoo can handle it, and yes I think qooxdoo
can:
http://rubyweb.de:12001/qooxdoo/testGuiBuilder/testGuiBuilder.png

First the good points:
- I needed only 6h for writing it, with under 1000 lines of code. Thumb
up for qooxdoo here, the design of the 0.7 version works really good.
(but MY good is not near as good as the original code ;) )
- It is possible to add 9 different components to the form (no limit
each), the layout components can contains other. This is done via drag
and drop
- It is possible to change the parent of a component in the form tree
- Basic properties can be changed with a propertie editor (component
must be selected on form or in the tree)

Not possible:
- Moving and resizing of the components on the form (had problems with
the drag and drop whem I tried to allow this)
- Reorder components

- AND MOST IMPORTANT: No save and load ;D

I will not finish this project, it was only a test balloon for me, but I
will help everyone (if i can) who wants to go on with that project.
The code (source:
http://rubyweb.de:12001/qooxdoo/testGuiBuilder/testBuilder_source.tar.bz2)
is very unclean, and some solutions could be nonsensical because I
didn't now all relevant qooxdoo functions and classes.

There is a demo online
(http://rubyweb.de:12001/qooxdoo/testGuiBuilder/build/) but it didn't
work as build, the drag and drop support seems not to be activated, any
hints are welcome, in the source version it works here.

The code was developed against the qooxdoo 0.7 trunk of today.



Good night
