2024 Editor's Rating

wxGlade is an open-source graphical user interface (GUI) designer tool created by the wxGlade team. It allows developers to design and create GUI applications using the wxPython toolkit.

The tool enables users to generate Python code for a GUI application by simply dragging and dropping GUI components onto a canvas. These components include standard GUI widgets such as buttons, text boxes, labels, and menus, as well as more advanced widgets like tree views and grid controls.

wxGlade offers both a design view and a source code view of the application being developed, allowing for easy editing of attributes and properties. The application's style can also be customized using CSS-like stylesheets.

wxGlade provides an easy-to-use, intuitive environment for developing cross-platform GUI applications using Python.

  • Benefits:
  • Open-source and free to use
  • Simple, graphical interface to design and create GUI applications
  • Supports both design view and source code view, as well as customized stylesheets
  • Provides a range of widgets for creating complex interfaces
    Limitations:
  1. Only supports the wxPython toolkit
  2. May not be suitable for complex applications with very specific requirements or design specifications
  3. Some users may prefer hand-coding their applications instead of using a GUI designer tool
