Hi, I am catching up on the list. I'm taking back my comment until I can provide specific improvements. but, subjectively, I found working with the sizers (by running AppWizard and then modifying the generated code) to be harder to work with than what I am accustomed to. > Can you explain what you mean by 'geometry management'?

Yes, I mean that and not something different. for a reference point, I am used to working with tk's pack and grid (<http://wiki.tcl.tk/443>). > > See, but this is too limited.

I mean the automation of GUI code from the AppWizard as well as the automation from the dabo framework. The framework automatically provides some of the functionality I'd normally have to write by hand (though I don't know how much it does yet). Maybe automation is the wrong word? I think I still like writing by hand more than using the AppWizard tool. I haven't played around with the ClassDesigner enough to have a pref for that. I've never really been into using graphical design tools, though, so maybe I'm not the target audience for those. -- sheila _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/dabo-dev
