GUI Builder

Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net

Description:

GUI Builder is A drag and drop interface to create WebElement User Interface (WUI) templates that can be used as the foundation of a responsive wep app. It simplifies the process of designing applications, and encourages separation of the logic and view.

Part of the WebBot web development framework (www.webbot.ws) that enables building WebApps in a similar fashion to building QT/KDE apps.

To install:

1. Install PySide https://pypi.python.org/pypi/PySide

Note: PyQt4 works as well, if PySide is not available for you platform.

2. pip install webelements

3. pip install guibuilder

execute guiBuilder to run.

Note: easy_install can optionally be used instead of pip install

7 years ago

0.9.8
Ensure editing properties on complex templates doesn't result in slow-typing. Don't loose tree position on item delete. Remember which items are expanded so the state doesn't change when properties are edited or items deleted / added.
0.9.7
Add support for PyQt4 bindings in addition to PySide to enable GuiBuilder to run on more distributions.
0.9.6
This release includes changes to help reduce the likely hood that a user will lose unsaved changes, as well as live property validation and the removal of the ability to accidentally save invalid templates. Additionally a bug that caused intermittent loss of item selection when more then 1 root node was used has been fixed.
0.9.5
Bug fix release: fix save-as resetting filename, keep scroll position when content changes, auto-select even nested tabs to make editing content easier.
0.9.4
Integrate features from the latest version of WebBot - social API support and live validation elements (client-side and server-side)
0.9.3
Fixed issue displaying recently used files drop-down when using python3
0.9.2
Fixed further Python3 compatibility issues discovered by Mte90
0.9.1
Fixed Python3 compatibility issue discovered by Mte90

ImportError: No module named PySide.QtCore

So, PiSide also must be installed before.

Hi Nebkheperureinpu,

Yes Pyside must be installed before guibuilder can start up correctly, if you let me know what distribution you use I can try to find more in-depth instructions for installing pyside for your specific set up. Once Pyside is installed guiBuilder should start up without issue.

Thanks!

Timothy

signal.signal(signal.SIGINT, signal.SIG_DFL)
also i get this error when i use the combobox on the bottom

Hi,

I have released another issue to fix the bugs you found. I'm currently relying on the github issues page: https://github.com/timothycrosley/GuiBuilder/issues
but have only started the process of making others aware of this tool, so as you can see no issues as of yet - your testing has already been very helpful.

Thanks for your comment on the design! currently I have not found a good way to enable drag and drop into the main view - currently you must drag and drop into the tree, and can only select items for editing from the main view.

Thanks!

Timothy

Hi Mte90,

Thanks for finding this issue, It was caused by an incompatibility with the latest python version - and I have made a patch to fix the issue:
a simple pip install guibuilder --upgrade and you should be good.

Thanks!

Timothy
