Started year 2006 by John Evans to the benefit of an XBLite community created by David Szafranski, viXen is a Visual Designer for GUI application, written in the programming language XBLite itself, which generates the XBLite Source Code of the complete "fill-in-the-blank" skeleton of a Windows(R) GUI application.

Current version of viXen allows numerous kinds of generation:
- GUI skeleton using the Win32API (Ansi)
- WinX.dll (windowing library finely crafted in XBLite by Callum Lowcay)
- XBasic GUI.

It is even possible to create GTK+ skeletons, thanks to Liviu Armeanu who created the interfaces to GTK dll's.

The resulting skeleton is generated according to your programming style:
- with a terse or verbose source
- with debugging wrappers.

viXen is my primary prototyping tool for many years, and I tuned it to fit my tastes. However, viXen should benefit from the feedback of other XBasic or XBLite programmers, if they also think that viXen does boost their productivity.

User Reviews

  • Been using it for a number of years to especially import my old vb6 forms and rewrite some of my old programs to xbasic / xblite. Vixen just works. I'm sure the interface could do with a bit more ease of use but it fulfills its purpose beautifully in my opinion.

    So good to hear from you, David! Happy new year 2022! Year 2022 being the my first year of retirement, I just tried "VB6 import" in my own version of viXen (January 2022), and I wasn't satisfied of the result. My intend is to work on improving this "Import VB6" feature of viXen. Could you please give me a feedback on your own use of it? That would help a lot.
