Event handlers
wxFormBuilder uses the Connect() method or the event table for creating events. For most of the available controls, custom event handlers can be created. Events can also be added through external XML files, eliminating the need to rebuild.{{cite web|title=wxFormBuilder features|url=http://sourceforge.net/apps/wordpress/wxformbuilder/features/|publisher=wxformbuilder.com|accessdate=2011-04-23}}
