Well done. Since c++ has no reflection, using CocosBuilder with cocos2d-x is painful. I wrote a CCBUtil.h to automate the trivial XxxLoader writing.
See my gist: https://gist.github.com/4362371

Now, If I have a GameLayer.ccbi file with the custom class named GameLayer, I can load it as follow:

auto layer = ccb::layer(/*init params*/);

If the GameLayer has a custom member: CustomMenuItemImage, I can load it as follow:

auto layer = ccb::layer(ccb::RegisterCCNodeLoaderBlock([](CCNodeLoaderLibrary *loaderLibrary) {
    ccb::registerCCNodeLoader(loaderLibrary); 
})/*, other init params*/);

I also wrote some macros:

 #define CCB_CCMENUITEM_SELECTOR(__CLASS__, __FUNC__) CCB_SELECTORRESOLVER_CCMENUITEM_GLUE(this, #__FUNC__, __CLASS__::__FUNC__)
 #define CCB_CCCONTROL_SELECTOR(__CLASS__, __FUNC__) CCB_SELECTORRESOLVER_CCCONTROL_GLUE(this, #__FUNC__, __CLASS__::__FUNC__)

to simplify:

cocos2d::SEL_MenuHandler onResolveCCBCCMenuItemSelector(cocos2d::CCObject * pTarget, cocos2d::CCString * pSelectorName) {
     CCB_CCMENUITEM_SELECTOR(GameLayer, backButtonCallback); // CCB_SELECTORRESOLVER_CCMENUITEM_GLUE(this, "buttonCallback", GameLayer::backButtonCallback);
     return NULL;
 }
 cocos2d::extension::SEL_CCControlHandler onResolveCCBCCControlSelector(cocos2d::CCObject * pTarget, cocos2d::CCString * pSelectorName) {
     return NULL;
 };

and

#define CCB_MEMBER_VAR(__TYPE__, __VAR__) CCB_MEMBERVARIABLEASSIGNER_GLUE(this, #__VAR__, __TYPE__, __VAR__)

to simplify:

bool onAssignCCBMemberVariable(cocos2d::CCObject * pTarget, cocos2d::CCString * pMemberVariableName, cocos2d::CCNode * pNode) {
     CCB_MEMBER_VAR(CCMenu *, _buttonMenu); // CCB_MEMBERVARIABLEASSIGNER_GLUE(this, "_buttonMenu", CCMenu *, _buttonMenu);
     return false;
 }

Le Yang that’s cool, thanks for sharing :slight_smile:
