While it's been awhile since I've used visual GUI designers much, I seem to remember them (at least the better ones anyway) being perfectly capable of doing resizable layouts. Any limitations seemed to have more to do with the widgets and GUI libs themselves rather than any inherent drawback to GUI designers in general. I seem to recall doing some resizable layouts even as far back as VB3.

Use DWT [1], no additional requirements besides the system libraries ;)

But there's no 64 bit support for DWT, or am I mistaken?

Yes, correct. Why do you need 64bit? All 64bit Windows computers can run 32bit applications.

customer require it - program and all components 64bit.

Anchors work, because they are simple and pixel-oriented. GTK boxes have too many settings to put them into a visual designer. Specialized non-pixel-oriented layouts do work with visual designers as they don't require configuration.

High memory requirements :(
If you have performance problems with a (big) database, a possible solution is to cache data on the client.

Also big grids; hundreds of thousands items.

Memory is the main reason.

I have started working on a 64 bit DWT port. If anything comes of it I'll submit a PR for review.

Fair enough.

Awesome, looking forward to it. How is it going, does it require a lot of changes?
