Hi,

does anyone attempted to use Glade as a GUI editor? I read that it can export XML, so converting this to valid BMax-code would be relative easy.

Though I don't know how much you can tweak the editor to reflect gadgets and parameters used by MaxGUI. Could be worth a try, couldn't it?

No not really after GUIde is available for free for which I still would like to thank its creator.

Exporting GUI code directly is a mess and a hell to maintain/update.
I would rather see GUI editors export to XML and some module parsing/displaying/relaying events etc.

Besides GUIde is windows only.

XML exporting is the way to go. I've created this, in a kinda working way, but it was not good enough yet to add to GUIde, so I canned it. It's on my design list for a bmax form editor, which I may or may not make in the near future =]

Is it possible to build GUIde for Mac?


Wiebo(Posted 2006) [#6]
No, it's written in blitzplus, sorry.

OK. I thought MaxGUI was compatible-ish with it.

C'est lavie. Thanks.

GUIde is written in blitzplus, but does export MaxGUI code.

Right. I meant I thought Blitz+ could be ported to Max/MaxGUI with minimal hassle.
