 Actually you are incorrect. DevC++ is still being developed - perhaps not
so actively as before, and the developers (the major developer Colin Laplace
in any case) is collaborating with a developer from wxDev-C++ to implement a
plugin system for extending the program further.

wxDev-C++ is being actively developed by a small team of programmers (myself
included) and is a version of the DevC++ program containing an integrated
Form Designer using a Delphi like click/drop method, producing wxWidgets
code to create said form (frame or dialog). It has a growing user base and
an active forum. http://wxforum.shadonet.com/viewforum.php?f=3D28

Currently it allows the use of almost all wxWidgets standard controls, and
will be enhanced further in the near future. I am currently implementing the
code to allow the user to add a wxRichTextControl to a form.

If I remember correctly the next release of the wxDevC++ program will allow
the use of both the GNU compiler as well as the Microsoft VC compiler. It is
also possible to use the form designer from VC studio.

Best regards
