File Download:
Windows:
wxFormBuilder_v3.1.61-beta
wxFormBuilder_v3.1.61-beta-archive (Self-Extracting Archive)
Linux:
    Debian Package: https://launchpad.net/~rjmyst3/+archive/ppa
    Tarballed Binary: wxFormBuilder_v3.1.60-beta (Coming Soon)

NOTE: To use Python code generation from the wxAdditions plug-in get the latest version here.

It has been built using Gcc version 4.3.3 so if you build your own plug-ins use that compiler. Also it is built against wxWidgets version 2.8.9. Enjoy.

ChangeLog:
06/11/2009 Version 3.01.61 (Beta)
+ Added support for Python (wxPython) code generation

Missing "wxmsw28u_gcc.dll" file in both the Win32 version Self extracting archive and the installer.
Also mingwm10.dll which is requiered by wxmsw28u_gcc.dll is missing.

I just grabbed it from the previous nightly build and worked nicely

Bug in all releases wxFormBuilder v3.x

Generated C++ code with use wxSplitterWindow:

MyFrame1::MyFrame1( wxWindow* parent, wxWindowID id, const wxString& title, const wxPoint& pos, const wxSize& size, long style ) : wxFrame( parent, id, title, pos, size, style )
{
   this->SetSizeHints( wxDefaultSize, wxDefaultSize );
   
   wxBoxSizer* bSizer1;
   bSizer1 = new wxBoxSizer( wxVERTICAL );
   
   m_splitter1 = new wxSplitterWindow( this, wxID_ANY, wxDefaultPosition, wxDefaultSize, wxSP_3D );
   m_splitter1->Connect( wxEVT_IDLE, wxIdleEventHandler( MyFrame1::m_splitter1OnIdle ), NULL, this );
   m_panel1 = new wxPanel( m_splitter1, wxID_ANY, wxDefaultPosition, wxDefaultSize, wxTAB_TRAVERSAL );
   m_splitter1->Initialize( m_panel1 ) // Semicolon is out
   bSizer1->Add( m_splitter1, 1, wxEXPAND, 5 );
}

Line 1482: _template = _template + sub1->GetProperty( wxT( "name" ) )->GetValue() + wxT( " )" /*bug is here*/);

Fixed in svn rev1606. Thanks for the report.

Can't this be built with 4.4.0-tdm-1 (r2) ?

I am starting from scratch and setting up the older environment is really hard.

I don't know. I think it should be able to. It builds on GCC 4.3.x so I am sure if there are any issues they will be minor. Try it and let us know.

Hi

I found a bug in Python code generation:

Code:

SetToolTip ( u"SomeText" )

should be

Code:

SetToolTipString (u"SomeText ")

At least the first one didn't work for wxPython2.8-win32-unicode-2.8.10.1-py25

-- Maxak


PS: I tried to register in the issue tracker in order to enter this bug, unfortunately it didn't work. But I never received an email... somethings broken there?

[marfi]

Thank you for the feedback. I'll look at it as soon as possible. Watch the SVN trunk.

[marfi]

The tooltips related bug is fixed in SVN 1613.

[alvinru]

Are there any plans to add support of i18n for Python code?

[Richard]

Is it possible that you provide a MacOS 10.5 beta version, too?

[BigPilot]

I get an exception and crash when I resize the Object Tree window in this version. Has anyone experienced the same problem?

I can't get the exception trace messages because there are a zillion exception popups being displayed on the screen.

Found another bug: the XRC generator adds one backslash too many for a menu shortcut. I use the Menu Editor.

This:

Print...\\tCtrl-P

should be:

Print...\tCtrl-P

[RJP Computing]

On Windows I see the crash. It makes it very hard to work with. It even crashes for me if it open maximized and I "un-maximize"/restore the application. It is a regression from some of the latest commits. I am wondering if Marfi could look at this. On Linux it works great.

[BigPilot]

Would be nice if you could post an updated build, I have to update the generated XRC everytime I make a change.

The menu editor is a little cranky but it works. The XRC import works nicely, though. I'm importing from DialogBlocks and I haven't seen any problems so far.
