Hi xiaoyafeng,
In the past I have used ZooZ for quickly creating some small Tk apps. Perhaps it is what you are looking for.
Hope this helps.

If you are willing to switch to Gtk2, there is Glade Although I prefer to build everything from scratch, since boiler plate code can sometimes leave you stuck without an answer.

Doesn't Glade just leave you with an XML representation of the GUI layout that your code uses later on? In what way can it leave you stuck?

stuck?What I mean is this: If you get used to
relying on boiler-plate code, you lose the ability ( thru lack of needing to do it), to do some low level customization which is needed to make some complicated apps run like you want. For most simple apps, its no problem, and Glade works great.
But when you run into to one of the problems I'm talking about, you will find that the Glade boiler plate code gets in the way of
a simple solution, and you spend more time trying to sort out the Glade, than if you just wrote everything from scratch. Since it is not that hard to write the basic windows setup from scratch, why not just learn to do it that way to begin with? To each their own. I mentioned Glade as a good solution for what it does, but I also mentioned that it is not a full blown IDE, and since half the work of building Gtk2 apps is setting up the event callbacks,( which you still need to do manually), I find it easier to build the windows from scratch.

The GUI loft may interst you if you use a windows box
I had a play with it, but I wasn't trying to get code out of it, so I don't know if it works for that, but you can move widgets about etc...

SpecTcl is a Tcl/Tk GUI builder that can generate Tcl, Java, Perl or HTML code. It's not as nice as ZooZ, but it works with less up-to-date Tk versions. | [reply] |

You may (or _should_ !!) also consider the wxPerl graphical toolkit
Combined with wxGlade or visualWx (windows only and not OSS but I have a better experience with that one) as GUI IDE.
These are great tools plus you can export your interfaces to XML files and keep your code alsmost totally clean of any interfaces issues.

Many thanks for reply!
It looks like many choices,huh? And which one is the best?
I have browsed Gtk2::GladeXML,and Wx.At last, I still choose Perl/Tk because I'm family with it and others seems have kinda problems yet. Now,I download ZooZ. It's delicious! | [reply] |
