\item Include the appropriate headers: normally "wx/xrc/xmlres.h" will suffice;
-\item call \verb$wxXmlResource::Get()->InitAllHandlers()$ from your wxApp::OnInit function,
-and then call \verb$wxXmlResource::Get()->Load("myfile.xrc")$ to load the resource file;
+\item call {\tt wxXmlResource::Get()->InitAllHandlers()} from your wxApp::OnInit function,

\item to create a dialog from a resource, create it using the default constructor, and then
-load using for example \verb$wxXmlResource::Get()->LoadDialog(&dlg, this, "dlg1")$;
-\item set up event tables as usual but use the \verb$XMLID(str)$ macro to translate from XRC string names
-to a suitable integer identifier, for example \verb$EVT_MENU(XMLID("quit"), MyFrame::OnQuit)$.

To create an XRC file, use one of the following methods.
-\begin{itemize}\itemsep=0
+\begin{itemize}\itemsep=0pt
\item Create the file by hand;
-\item use \urlref{wxDesigner}{http://www.roebling.de};
-\item use wxWorkshop (not yet available);
-\item use wxrcedit (the status of this tool is unknown);
-\item convert WIN32 RC files with the tool in contrib/utils/convertrc (the status of this tool is
-unknown).
+\item use \urlref{wxDesigner}{http://www.roebling.de}, a commercial dialog designer/RAD tool;
+\item use \urlref{XRCed}{http://www.mema.ucl.ac.be/~rolinsky/xrced/}, a wxPython-based
+dialog editor that you can find in the {\tt wxPython/tools} subdirectory of the wxWindows
+CVS archive;
+\item use \urlref{wxWorkshop}{http://wxworkshop.sourceforge.net} (under development);
+\item use wxrcedit ({\tt utils/contrib/wxrcedit}) (under development);
+\item convert WIN32 RC files to XRC with the tool in {\tt contrib/utils/convertrc}.
\end{itemize}
It is highly recommended that you use a tool such as wxDesigner, since it's fiddly writing
To compile binary resource files, use the command-line wxrc utility. It takes a single file parameter (the
input XRC file) and the following switches and options.
-\begin{itemize}\itemsep=0
+\begin{itemize}\itemsep=0pt
\item -h (--help): show a help message
\item -v (--verbose): show verbose logging information
\item -c (--cpp-code): write C++ source rather than a RSC file
This is the C++ source file (xrcdemo.cpp) for the XRC sample.
