I would like to construct reasonably complex GUIs using Mathematica functionality and would like to do so using a visual WYSIWYG editor for some portions (a GUI for GUIs). I have in mind something like the visual editor present in NetBeans or for C# in Visual Studio. I have no problem writing the more intricate parts of the code myself, but would like to avoid writing lower-level details such as 'text label goes here, with width X and length Y', etc. I suppose I could write GUI code in NetBeans and paste this into Mathematica, but I am hoping that there is a more elegant solution available. Thank you very much.

One advantage of this approach, is that you do end up with an industry standard GUI, which can be important if it is to be used by non-Mathematica users. My Super Widget Package makes it easy to create a Java GUI from Mathematica (available free from my website), using (hopefully reasonably elegant) Mathematica code, but there is no building tool - ultimately, I suppose, because I am not very keen on using a GUI to program! BTW, you certainly could not (usefully) paste NetBeans code into Mathematica! David Bailey http://www.dbaileyconsultancy.co.uk
