The user may then populate this skeleton program with further code to complete the application, or use the results as a design and prototyping aid. wxBuilder could also find use as a learning aid for a beginning wxWindows user, since there is a clear correspondence between GUI and C++ code.
wxBuilder may also be used as a migration tool from straight Windows to wxWindows, by importing existing Windows resource (.RC) files (Windows version only).
wxBuilder is not unique in the kind of facilities it provides, but it is the only known freely available tool to generate multi-platform code, and is the only one to support wxWindows.
