This WYSIWYG tool is used to create and maintain wxWidgets UI elements (dialogs, menus, etc.), generating either C++, wxPython, wxRuby3 or XRC code. It supports almost all of the wxWidgets UI controls along with bitmap bundles and SVG files.
In addition to creating new projects, the following project types can be imported:
- wxCrafter (Click here for more information)
- wxFormBuilder (Click here for more information)
- wxGlade
- wxSmith
- DialogBlocks (Click here for more information)
- XRC (including exports from DialogBlocks)
- Windows Resource Dialogs (Click here for more information)
For Windows, you can either run the wxUiEditor-ver-win64.exe installer from releases or run winget install wxUiEditor from a command line. For Linux, wxUiEditor-ver-Linux.deb and wxUiEditor-ver-Linux.rpm are available in the releases section.
You will need a C++20 compliant compiler to build wxUiEditor. To build using CMake 3.20 or higher, run the following two commands from the root of the repository:
cmake -G "Ninja Multi-Config" . -B build
cmake --build build --config Release --target wxUiEditor
For Unix builds, you currently need a minimum of gcc 11.4 to be able to compile the sources. After building, you can can change to the build/ directory and run cpack -G DEB -C Release or cpack -G RPM -C Release to create a Ubuntu or Fedora package.
