Greetings;
My Quest for the best wysiwyg GUI for Euphoria: I am wondering can an xml file created by XRCed work with wxEuphoria.
XRCed has a nice little GUI: (http://xrced.sourceforge.net/)
"XRCed is a simple resource editor for wxWidgets/wxPython GUI development which supports creating and editing files in XRC format It is written in Python and uses wxPython GUI toolkit (which mirrors wxEuphoria)." Thanks! ...Vern

How horrendous a job do you think it would be
converting XRCed from Python to Euphoria? Thanks! ...Vern

I'd say try it and see. Basically, you're going to get an xml file from XRCed. You should be able to use that in wxEuphoria. I haven't really used the XRC stuff. Greg wrapped that, and there is a demo that you could look at.

wxEuphoria is basically a wrapper around wxWidgets. If you're using Windows, then you got a binary version of wxWidgets (that's the large dll, named wxmsw28u_eu.dll, or something similar). You can also build it from source, if you have OpenWatcom installed. It's not very difficult (one warning, I think that v2.8.9 does not build correctly with OpenWatcom, so use v2.8.7 or 8). If you're using Linux, then you can either use the version of wxWidgets that your disto's package manager supplies, or build it from source (which is pretty easy to do).

It's useful to sometimes refer to the wxWidgets documentation. The wxEuphoria documentation often hyperlinks to the wxWidgets documentation. When you're looking at the documentation for a particular class, there should be a link on the right hand side that will take you to the online version of the wxWidgets documentation.

Most wxEuphoria routines are used exactly like the wxWidgets routines. There are some places where wxEuphoria does a little more work for you, and combines what are actually multiple calls to wxWidgets code, but in general, the documentation for wxWidgets applies to wxEuphoria.

Pshaw. I've never done that... :P

Actually, with the 'automatic' wrapping, it's a lot easier to get lots of stuff wrapped. Just be glad you're not working on the library back when I was directly importing C symbols...shudder...

Hi Greg; In a Post, Someone mentioned:

Could you aim me at that url. I would like to try it. I found a demo pgm called 'xrc_demo.exw' with 'xrc_demo.xrc' .
And ran the 'xrc_demo.xrc' thru XRCed.
And all went swell.

Also, can your recommend a Win Editor for Euphoria, something with syntax highlighting?

Thank you very much! ...Vern [newbie]

...someone mentioned:
In theory, yes. I haven't tested it, but Greg has wrapped the XRC stuff for wxEuphoria.
Two Posts ago the above line got deleted because I surrounded it with ltlt and gtgt.
Anyways what I am after is a wrapped Euphoria XRC .
Thanks!
