thx i think i will just go for the editing source code option :)

PS When i build in c it works but when i try c++ i get this ?

Error running glade-- to generate the C++ source code.
Check that you have glade-- installed and that it is in your PATH.
Then try running 'glade-- <project_file.glade>' in a terminal.

Anybody know why ? 

PS is there much difference between C and C++ ?
