Description Julien Le Cain 2006-05-30 13:28:47 UTC 
I would greatly appreciate shapes for GUI design containing
common form shapes: menu, button, window, textbox, ...

Visio has that feature
and there's other tool like http://www.carettasoftware.com/gds/gds_screenshots.html

Is that possible to do in Dia?
Comment 1 Alan Horkan 2006-08-27 01:24:57 UTC 
I would strongly recommend you try glade or one of the other GUI development tools.  

It would be possible to add such shapes to Dia but they are among the most unlikely ones to happen given the readily available alternatives.   

I'm tempted to mark this WONTFIX because I do not plan on adding it but perhaps you can find someone else who might be interested in doing the work.

It's going to look really hokey when you do a listbox or a combobox without snap to grid. different controls are different sizes, too, so fitting to a grid is not going to fly real well.  All in all, you won't get professional results.  but it is do-able in small pieces.

radio buttons will not be realistic because the checkbox itself can be resized.
checkboxes will not be realistic.
menubars will not be realistic.
comboboxes will not be realistic.
listboxes will not be realistic.
spinbuttons will be realistic - they can be resized.
buttons will be realistic but hard to place text on (I've tried placing text within the rectangle in dia, it's like wrestling a bear for huckleberries)
...for the above, samew goes with comboboxes, textboxes, static text, menubars, tooltips, listboxes, and all the other controls that have text associated within a box.
