Is there something in particular you want to achieve? If you gave
me more specifics regarding what the goal is here, I might be able
to give a better answer.
Sure.
I want to use Dabo more - but I don't like defining the UI in code; I
don't want to create the controls (and sizers, ...) by writing code, I
want to do it using a GUI editor (i.e. Class Designer).
On the other hand, I think CD is a very ambitious project; it suspect it
will be some considerable time before it is fully developed. The
technique of storing the code for handlers in the cdxml file is
interesting - but it means that I can't use the code editors and
debuggers I am used to. I'd much rather use WingIDE for coding and
debugging. It's possible that in the long run CD will provide a way to
do that - but I don't see how, and my guess is that it may take a while.
But the part of CD that lays out controls, sets their properties, puts
them into sizers, etc. is (relatively) straightforward and can all be
done with fairly well-known methods.
So if I can use the part I most need, which also happens to be the
easier 20% of CD, then I'd happily do that and write code the
traditional way.
Coincidentally, this would give a way of using Dabo that is quite
similar to PythonCard - i.e. one I'm already familiar with :-)
