Entice Designer 0.8.5 now adds support for designing DWT shells and
widgets, as well as DFL forms and controls!
New in this version:
* Added support for designing DWT shells and widgets.
* Added DWT autocomplete information; must be enabled.
* Improved API Viewer.
* Slightly changed autocomplete lists.

Here is a screenshot using DWT:

Other screenshots found on the Entice page.
Entice also makes a good code editor, if you're not intersted in a GUI
builder.
Note that the new DWT support does not mean DFL will be abandoned; DFL is
actually getting many updates, and both libraries have their own pros and
cons.
There has also been a minor maintenance update to DFL, version 0.9.7.01:

Note that the testing snapshots include these changes and more.

Nice work!
That means my ideas on the dwt wiki page meaningless?

Not at all. The more the merrier! :)
There will always be plenty of opportunities for alternatives. The right
mixture of resources, interest, and motivation is all that's necessary.

Many thanks for this valuable contribution, Chris. I'm hoping both dfl
and dwt continue to grow more popular. :)
Incidentally, I've been testing the pre-releases of Entice leading up to
this announcement, and dwt users might be interested to know that Entice
also runs on Linux under the Wine emulator. Also, Entice dwt output
should be buildable on both linux or windows.
I look forward to seeing future releases of Entice Designer as it
progresses towards a comprehensive IDE.
Once again, great work!

Thanks for this Chris. A GUI designer for DWT was asked for many times.
Do you plan to add support for Layouts in future?
Wow, great!

In the past I have used VEP (or something like that). It is a visual editor for
Eclipse. It has layouts and everything. Generates SWT code. Takes only a minute
to convert to D.
Hi. I started to play with DFL and Entice Designer. Are you planning to
stop development of DFL and move to DWT? There are many diferent GUI
toolkits, so I am confused which one to choose.

Actually, I don't believe that to be true anymore. Having dwt as the
official gui for D might have been the intention several years ago when
there were few GUI's available for d, but the situation today is very
different.
The DWT newsgroup was practically abandoned awhile ago, and we just
figured it would be good to put it to use again. Notice that other GUI
framework project owners post in this newsgroup also? So this newsgroup
really has just become the central posting grounds for all things GUI in
D. The newsgroup is probably misnamed... but I don't mind. ;)

Probably making VEP work for Descent + DWT is going to be very easy
then. :-)

Of course, Activating VEP for DWT would be a welcome addition :). But
I'm pleased to see an alternative provided by a light-weight program
like Entice: it's fast to load and easy to use -- this is a big
advantage. Eclipse tends to be bulky and complicated (though very
comprehensive). Having both Entice and VEP available would be optimal,
though, to cater to different users.
Of course, what would be fun to see eventually would be a whole port of
Eclipse to d and dwt... but I think I'd be dreaming...

As he said in his post, "Note that the new DWT support does not mean DFL

DWT is supposedly the official GUI lib for D, but frankly it really
doesn't matter choose one that is right for you.

Oh, I realize that, Walter gave the word that DWT was official and the
project died. This is why I used supposedly, while he has no intention of
declaring an Official GUI, I do not know if he has actually taking it
back, though it is probably implied.
Entice Designer 0.8.5 now adds support for designing DWT shells and
widgets, as well as DFL forms and controls!
I'm getting some assert errors with this version. Two in particular I
can reproduce, when I attempt to create a new file, I get:
AssertError Failure dfldesigner(7751)
And if I try to copy an object in the dialog editor:
AssertError Failure ddcontrolchildren(2274)
I've tried deleting my settings file, but I'm still getting these errors.

Thanks for reporting this.
The first error is because I rearranged some code, and the assert was
ensuring the old order. The code was fine except the assert. Perhaps I
need to assert my asserts are valid :P
You can work around it by making sure at least one tab is open; my tests
passed because I have the Start Page up.
I can't seem to figure out the second error. That code path shouldn't
happen. Can you give me a small source file that reproduces it? Also, the
error log has more information that might be helpful, it can be viewed in
Help->About.
I'll try to have a fix up soon.

Fixed, thanks.
Were you getting other assertion failures? Even if you can't reproduce it,
please let me know the messages. Help->About should log it.

Thanks for the quick update :)
Sorry, but I don't have the error log anymore. When deleting the
settings, I simply deleted the folder in application data. If I do get
any more errors though, I'll post them here.
Worth noting is that the video shows DWT in use, and the code works just fine
with dwt-linux. Entice is definitely a useful designer for Linux GUI's.
