Is it possible to integrate a windows builder into Xamarin for the Mac?

I'm currently using a Mac, but I would like to continue using C # and create new GUIs , since I did not create a lot there. So I was looking for a solution to use C # for the Mac, and I discovered Mono framework, which is compatible with Microsoft's famous .NET framework.

I would like to create GUIs using a windows designer or builder, like the one in Visual Studio for C #, or that plugin for Eclipse Window Builder for Java.

I've heard that there is no built-in Window Builder in Xamarin (MonoDevelop) for the Mac, but is there a possibility maybe to install one?

I finally discovered how to use the integrated designer in MonoDevelop (Xamarin is the version I have for OSX) for the creation of Gtk# applications (thanks also to this post in the OS: link ).

To get started you need to create a new solution .

Inmycase,IuseC#,soIclickC#,andtherightsideoftheGtk#2.0Projectoptionappears,andthat'stheoneIchoose:

Then the typical window of an IDE appears, in this case with the browser (of the solution) on the left. Go to folder User Interface , and make 2 clicks on MainWindow , so that it opens:

Nowyouwillseea%gray(withnothing).Notethatithas2"tabs": Window and Source , if Designer is not selected, select it:

Atthispoint,youshouldnothave,ontheright,anytoolboxcalledDesigner.Fromthemenu,gotoView>Pads>Toolbox:

Right now should appear to Toolbox :

Now we are ready to proceed with the easy part;)
