is there are any GUI designer frameworks/module/library out there for creating custom visual GUI designer (drag-drop component on frame)
almost every time a new language is created, one may have to write a gui designer from scratch (eg freepascal's Lazarus)

In VS Code has code outline for VBA been removed? When using the now-deprecated "VSCode VBA" add-in the code outline window was populated. Since moving to the suggested replacement "VBA" add-in the code outline window is now empty (the change of add-in might be coincidence because there was a VS Code upgrade at the same time). Is there guidance somewhere on how to update an add-in so it populates the code outline window?
Unity3d allows to construct window with custom UI. Just need to use EditorGUI/EditorGUILayout classes and their static methods.
Example of custom window:
The problem is that all the components have to be added manually via script. Then need to save, switch to Editor, wait for little compile things, and then we can see the result.
In web-development people use Web Inspector (for example, we can press F12 in chrome, Tab Elements -> Styles). We can add all needed properties to element and can see the result in real-time.
EDIT. another example (better than previous): we know C# winFormApp, C++ MFC e.t.c, which has form designer. We can choose any elements and set their properties:
It would be nice to have similar plugins for Unity
So. Does Unity3d have similar tools, utilities, plugins? Utilities to inspect code and editing styles (position, margin, padding, background, width, height, color e.t.c.)?
Well, I found something interesting...Editor window designer
The plugin is almost what I need
The project had been started but not completed yet.
As the author says: he decided to release Editor Window Designer as an open source project, that code is here
For now plugin allows add elements and styling them (position, padding, width, height, e.t.c)
Base demo window:
And here is hierarchy window and properties of concrete element
I wonder why Unity developers (or someone else) still didn't do something like that? It is very useful and necessary thing...
We can drag and drop UI components in Netbeans and swing code is auto
generated.
We can drag and drop UI components in Eclipse to do
Android development, and xml is auto generated.
We can drag and drop
UI components in Dreamwaver and html is auto generated.
We can drag and drop UI components in Eclipse BIRT plugin, and xml is auto generated.
If I want to create a IDE tool like the above to drag and drop some components and have some xml code auto generated. Is there any framework I can take advantage of?
I am thinking about eclipse plug-in development. I am wondering if there is any existing code/framework for this so that I don't have to code much to make the DND UI, properties setting and so on, but just put my business logic for xml generation into plugin.
My final work should be: an eclipse plug-in I can install into eclipse. I can drag and drop UI components and auto generate the xml according to the business logic I code into the plugin.
Take a look at the Graphical Editing Framework - GEF
Is there a plugin for Eclipse where I can tear panels out of the main window so I can view them on a separate monitor?
Visual Studio 2010 supports this feature natively.
You don't need a plugin for this - Eclipse supports it by default. You can do it with everything but the main editor window* (the Java text editor, for example).
Simply right-click on any view, then click "Detached". From there, you can move it anywhere across your desktop - including additional monitors.
This will actually create a new floating panel / view group. You can drag add or drag additional views into this same view group, if you'd prefer to have only one detached group to keep track of instead of many.
*If you want to open multiple editor windows, use Window / New Window. This will produce a new window that includes a new main editor window, as well as a default set of views that can also be customized or detached, etc. (I agree, it's not the most ideal, but it works for my needs.) Additional details concerning this are available at https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=8886 - which seems to indicate that this has been further improved in 4.1 (not yet mainstream).
is there any add-in for enable in visual basic 6 designer the undo/redo buttons like in visual studio .net?
It's very boring when i wrong to resize or to move a component.
Thanks
i used to work with sizeone of component one. Here reference http://helpcentral.componentone.com/nethelp/sizerone8/default.htm?turl=componentonesizerone80.htm
