Which platform you intend to write the code on?

Thank you.

VSCode is actually a very good editor.  It is the first thing to come along in 30 years that pulls me away from vim.  And, like vim, it works the same on whatever operating system you're using.  I don't really call it an IDE, although I guess it does interface with many debuggers.

However, I'm not sure why you think wx would be involved.  I do use it to edit my wxWidgets applications, but of course it can't help with component layout.  For that, you still need something like wxFormBuilder or wxDesigner.

Hi,

I would advice to do it for learning.

Beyond learning, you will need an IDE probably with RAD to speed development.

So Yes you can learn with it but unless you have some plugin it will involve some manual works

I've been using VSCode to develop wxWidgets applications for a couple of years now and it works fine. You can both compile and debug from within the editor. I'm on Windows, so I use Microsoft's C++ extension that provides tooltips to give you hints about what the parameters for wxWidgets constructors, functions, etc. are. There are mostly equivalent extensions for other platforms.

It's definitely easier to use one of the stand-alone designers, all of which will generate code that you can then compile within VSCode. Current C++ stand-alone designers are  wxCrafter, wxFormBuilder, wxGlade, and wxUiEditor(currently in beta). If you are programming in python, then you are limited to wxFormBuilder and wxGlade. wxFormBuilder also supports Lua and PHP. I would argue that wxUiEditor is the easiest to use -- but I'm heavily biased since I wrote it... 😁
