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 emit C++, Python, PHP, Lua and XRC code. Emitted 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]

Available controls

wxFormBuilder have a rich set of supported widgets. They can be easily extended via plugins.[8]
