Summary

references and material regarding tools a developer might use to create the framework of an application with a GUI.

Description

[Big needs: a statement about how much Tk developers do withOUT GUI builders; and brief status indications in regards to current support] [is there current support for any of these?]

adavis (28th July 2009) I'm still developing/supporting GRIDPLUS2. The most recent release was 6th February 2009 - I have a new release ready, for which I'm currently doing the finishing touches to the documentation.

Sometimes people confuse a GUI builder with an integrated development environment (aka IDE). A GUI builder typically is just about building the GUI, and seldom has debugging facilities, code management capabilities, etc. Eclipse is an IDE. Anyone know if it also includes a GUI builder?

Tk GUI builders

Basic GUI Builder

cbuild

available in ClassyTk

bwise

TV In general is not a GUI or GUI builder tool, but as part of its functionality, it has strong gui building facilities, except not as average Tk program, but as part of its canvas. The Model view controller type of thinking is easily to follow and make with bwise, as in this simple example: A little multiplication toy.
