I did some programming with Java and C# and they both have great GUI builders. Java has things like Netbeans and Eclipse, and C# has Visual Studio. It's pretty easy to build user interface with drag and drop. Lately I do some Ruby coding and I'm wonderi开发者_如何学运维ng if there is something similar?

Thank you!

It depends from UI toolkit: for wxWidgets you can take DialogBlocks, for Qt — QtDesigner or QtCreator.

You could always build it in Glade, or SpecTcl, VisualWx

Komodo Edit used to have a SpecTcl integrated, but they didn't have time to improve it, so they released it for others to improve.

Java and C# come with their own User Interface Libraries out of the box, which Ruby doesn't have. For Ruby, you'd need a third party library (which would likely be wrappings for Tcl or GTK). Because there is no defined standardization there, there doesn't exist any powerful tools for building your interfaces in a graphical environment.

You can build it with tools such as SpecTcl, which generates a Tcl interface with the appropriate Ruby bindings. Alternatively, you could build your interface in a tool like Balsamiq Mockups to get the design down, and then manually write the code you need now that you have your X, Y coordinates.
