WYSIWYG GUI Designer and Code Generator for wxWidgets

## NAME

wxformbuilder - WYSIWYG GUI Designer and Code Generator for wxWidgets

## SYNOPSIS

**wxformbuilder \[-g\]\[-l \<str\>\]\[-h\]** *\[filename(s)...\]*

## DESCRIPTION

**wxformbuilder** is a GUI designer for programs which use wxWidgets. It is a very WYSIWYG designer, because it uses the actual controls to show the result, not some fake representation.

## OPTIONS

- **-h, --help**

  Displays the list of accepted command-line arguments.

- **-g, --generate**

  Generate code from the passed file.

- **-l, --language**

  Override the code\_generation property from the passed file and generate the passed languages.  Separate multiple languages with commas.

## EXAMPLES

wxformbuilder --generate --language XRC myproject.fbp
