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.
Download and more information:
http://www.dprogramming.com/entice.php
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:
http://www.dprogramming.com/dfl.php
Note that the testing snapshots include these changes and more.

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

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!

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

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. bobef napsal(a):Frank Benoit Wrote:Wow, great! Thanks for this Chris. A GUI designer for DWT was asked for many times.

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... -JJRFrank Benoit Wrote:Probably making VEP work for Descent + DWT is going to be very easy then. :-)Wow, great!

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.

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.
