How to design a configuration dialog box...

[krambriw]

Hi, wouldn't it be great to have a document (white paper, cookbook) that describes all the possible features with examples you have at hands when designing a configuration dialog box.

Today, I look into others design but this takes long time and is really not a good way to document such a fundamental thing. I mean, everybody creating plu-ins needs to design such dialogs.

Just a suggestion...

Best regards, Walter

I can recommend:
Manning Publication "wxPython in Action" (pdf file) and "win32-docs-demos" from http://www.wxpython.org/download.php

Dear Pako,
This was really helpful, thanks a lot!!!
The "win32-docs-demos" is really great!

I think myself that one thing that takes most time when making a plug-in is to create the nice dialogues

I wonder if someone has experience using a real GUI builder tool for plug-ins in combination when writing the plug-ins for EG?

I am thinking of tools like FarPy GUIE or wxGlade or similar...

I only have experience with the capabilities of Visual Studio and its dialog editor

Or maybe PythonCard ???

I've had a bit of the same problem. I tried some wx ui builder tools but mostly they seemed to produce an incomprehensible mess of a code(works though ofcourse). So I ended up doing it by hand anyway..

I'd be interested to know what you guys use for it as well though.
