wxFormBuilder is an open source GUI designer application for wxWidgets toolkit, which allows creating cross-platform applications.[3] A streamlined, easy to use interface[4] enables faster development and easier maintenance of software. It is written in C++.

wxFormBuilder is a visual development tool, but also allows including non-graphical components.[5] It can generate C++, Python, PHP, Lua and XRC code. The generated code cannot be edited directly in the program.[6]

Event handlers[]

wxFormBuilder uses the Connect() method or the event table for creating events. For most of the available controls, custom event handlers can be created. Events can also be added through external XML files, eliminating the need to rebuild.[4][7]
