Widget Resource Editor

The appearance and behavior of widgets depends on resources. The Widget Resource Editor enables to set the all resources in the source code or resource file.

Widget Tree Browser

A user interface consists of widget trees. The Widget Tree Browser is a view for widget trees. The widgets are represented as icons which provides object oriented behavior described above.

Templates of widget trees

A template is a widget which does not belong to an interface. This widget has predefined resources and is used to create copies of widgets with the same resource settings.

Reusable components

A designed interface is a component that could be used in other interface. VDX provides this mechanism by the creation of links to an interface.

Adaptable code generation including generation of C and C++ code

Using configuration files the code generation of VDX is more flexible than those of other interface builders. You are able to create a new code generation model and edit this model to fit your needs. VDX comes with two models, C and C++.
