I can't remember precisely, but I wasn't impressed with wxDesigner. Wish 
I could be more specific, but it's been awhile since I've tried the GUI 
builder tools. DialogBlocks is great. The wxWidgets book comes with an 
older version of DialogBlocks. I would get that if you are on a small 
budget.

I thought wxFormBuilder was great. But I didn't see any real benefit to 
switching from DialogBlocks, and I'm already familiar with DialogBlocks.

If you're poor, just learn wxFormBuilder. It as good as DialogBlocks in 
my opinion.
