Create round-tripping XRC project for further Import testing

Open KeyWorksRW opened this issue 2 years ago • 0 comments

Description:

Current testing for importing from the various designers is mostly limited to projects that I have downloaded. That's fairly thorough for wxFormBuilder where I have literally hundreds of project files that I can test. It's much harder for DialogBlocks, wxCrafter and wxGlade where there aren't as many projects that I can download.

CodeBlocks is the only designer that doesn't support importing from an XRC file. It would be useful to create a project file that is designed to generate an XRC which could be used to import into wxCrafter, wxFormBuilder, wxGlade and DialogBlocks which would then write the project file. wxUiEditor could then append the project file to the test XRC file. That would give us the original and imported versions to compare. Obviously only controls and properties supported by XRC as well as controls and properties supported by the various designers would round-trip successfully, but it would at least be a good additional check.

The priority for this is fairly high, since I am still finding properties that aren't being imported correctly from DialogBlocks.
