Okay. I spent a few days studying up on qxtransformer. I now know what it is trying to accomplish. > > Any other packages you would recommend?

It turns out that the qxml file created by qxtransformer is rather similar in structure to the resource file created by the GUI builder in PythonCard. In fact, it is so similar that it didn't take me long (couple of hours) to modify the code for the PythonCard GUI builder to output in qxml format. Pythoncard can handle quite a number of the most common controls which is sufficient for what I need to do. See http://pythoncard.sourceforge.net/ Right now, my poor man's GUI builder can only create windows, and buttons - because there is really no referenence level documentation for qxtransformer that I can find. However, I am confident that once the documentation becomes available, it shouldn't be a hard thing for me to complete it. A few hours to create an application is still too long. I can't afford the time (I did a project where I had to come up with triple digits of rather boring screens - I did that in a week or two with PythonCard). Hopefully, with my poor man GUI builder, I can get that down to minutes. Of course, none of it is possible without the excellent work of the qooxdoo and qxtransformer teams. -- John Henry ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
