Manuel,
Many thanks for your excellent contributions, as usual
Your application is with no doubt a very usefull tool and its source code surely is a great help for mastering FiveWin programming.
Regarding the designer itself, I see it uses the same model that Visual Objects used ("one way tool") which has a major problem: if the user wants to modify the form after the PRG has been modified with extra source code, this extra source code gets lost. Thats was the main complain about Visual Objects designer.
The benefit of using a resources file is, as you know, that if you decide to modify the dialogbox, you can do it, and it won't affect your existing PRG source code, asuming that a good programming style has been used in the PRG
Even the "two way tools" implemented by Borland, have the problem that I describe above. They are not "clever" enough to detect what components names you have changed and where you are using them in your code, and how you are using them.
So meanwhile the computers don´t get smarter than programmers, we have to keep coding "by hand" as usual
Its just my personal opinion, and we are open to listen all other opinions.
