Re: Semi-automatic serialization and UI form?

I don't know of anything that does exactly what you want but these are some 
thoughts:

You can add controls programmatically to any window and if the layout is 
straightforward and the types of values you want to edit in your form is 
limited, this is not hard and may be the best way to go.

An alternative to defining the controls programmatically in C++ could be to 
use an XRC definition (https://docs.wxwidgets.org/latest/overview_xrc.html) 
In your case, you could create the XRC file programmatically based on what 
controls you want to add. Easier would be to modify an existing XRC. You 
could create a baseline XRC for your panel with a tool such as 
wxFormBuilder (https://github.com/wxFormBuilder/wxFormBuilder) and then you 
could modify it programmatically. Of course rather than modify the xml 
directly you would use some XML parser editor 
(https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9387610/what-xml-parser-should-i-use-in-c)
