## Introduction

The wxWindows Dialog Editor is a tool for creating dialog resource files, in `.wxr` format. It differs from wxBuilder in the following respectes:

1. Scope. It is written for dialog editing only, and is therefore more convenient than wxBuilder for this purpose.
2. File format. Dialog editor reads and writes wxWindows resource files (extension `.wxr`) and has no independent file format.
3. Robustness. It is written in a more principled way than wxBuilder, and is less ambitious.
4. Ease of use. Windows are edited using the mouse or via consistent property editors, which provide immediate visual feedback of changed properties.

Dialog Editor 2.0 should be compiled and used with wxWindows 2.0.
