in thread Perl/Tk WYSIWYG

As an aside, this is why I find Gtk::GladeXML so nifty. Although you can get glade to produce fill-in-the-blanks code for you, I always just keep the xml file around and let Gtk::GladeXML instantiate the dialogs directly from that. Program logic can be associated with graphical elements either by hand with signal_connect or en masse with the rather cool signal_autoconnect_from_package.

(I see there's now glade2 and Gtk2::GladeXML as well, which is probably more hip.)

    Yeah, I liked Glade when I tried it. Also the new PerlGTK2 interface is really being "perfected" by that team of programmers. I have been impressed by how smoothly it now installs, and all the demos work.

    If only the docs for PerlGTK2 were as good as for Perltk. :-)

      I started working on WYSIWYG GUI builder for Perl/Tk (the goal is to create a Visual Basic style IDE for Perl/Tk) a couple of months ago and have posted the project on SourceForge.net under the name VisualCamel. Any Perl coders that would like to help out with this project are welcome. The current package available is not complete but includes several widgets and allows you to open and save a project and export the open project to Perl code.

      I plan to add the ability to export a project as a new Tk module.

        Visual Camel looks promising.
        nice work!
