Product snapshot
wxUiEditor is a free Windows application for visually building user interfaces for wxWidgets projects. It gives developers a visual workspace that simplifies placing and arranging controls, reducing the amount of manual UI coding.
Interactive visual designer
The editor uses drag-and-drop mechanics so you can quickly assemble screens and prototype layouts. Common controls are easy to add and position with the mouse, which speeds iteration during the design phase.
- Panels for grouping and layout
- Text fields for user input
- Buttons for actions and commands
Component tuning and properties
Each widget exposes configurable properties so you can adjust appearance and behavior without editing source files directly. Property dialogs let you change labels, sizes, alignment, and other attributes to match your desired UI.
How it boosts productivity
By minimizing repetitive UI code and enabling rapid visual feedback, the tool helps shorten development cycles. Visual design plus property editing makes it practical for both quick mockups and production-ready interfaces.
Who should use it
The editor is suitable for newcomers who prefer a graphical workflow as well as experienced developers who want to speed up routine UI tasks while working with wxWidgets.
