Please do not feel offended, but you spent time on discussion about
simple tool, easy to understand (with all limitations) for every one
with basic knowledge about wxWidgets instead of trying it. I think
time spent by someone advanced in wxW on improving open tool like
wxFormBuilder will help all future generations of programmers using
it. :-)
