XVT does have a resource file format similar to Window RC files.  But
that only is for defining dialogs, menus, and a few others.  Since XVT
doesn't support containers (Form widgets for examples) you can't code the
GUI in the resource files.  However, they have a GUI layout tool in beta
which will write resource files and maybe skeleton code for the
application user interface, but I don't remember.
