Hi,

What's the best free (also for commercial purposes) RAD tool / IDE for
WxWindows?

Thanx.

Rather old topic. You may search the group.

I use VC.Net and VC6 (and play with Dev-CPP) on Windows

I use XCode on Mac

I use KDevelop 3 (make sure you get version 3) on Linux

Cheers!
:)

I used to use wxGlade to prototype my windows, and I'll probably go back to it
when I finally jump on the XRC bandwagon. Other than that, I find KWrite to
be all I need in Linux, Programmers Notepad 2 in Windows.

(More recently I've been using Quanta, though. It's like halfway between a
full-fledged IDE and Just Another Text Editor)

I've always like MinGWStudio for coding in wxWidgets (in both Win32 and
Linux). The main GUI designers for wxWidgets are wxDesigner, DialogBlocks,
and wxGlade. I'd recommend evaluating all three to see which one best
suites your needs.

I think there's also VisualWX, Chinook, and Code::Blocks which haven't been
mentioned. There are people that are probably still happy with the features
available in Borland's C++BuilderX as well (which probably has the best
version control integration).

What are the most important features to you? Integration between GUI design
and code, support for multiple programming languages, wxSizer support,
version control integration, code completion, ...? The IDE Wiki page at
http://wiki.wxwidgets.org/wiki.pl?IDEs is probably a good place to research
as well.
