Yes it works and it works well.  But often the change to the design just does 
work with add slot.  Adding a control or moving control from grid sizer does 
not come easy if I want to change the control in the middle of the sizer.  
What I have done (just playing with stuff) is to first use the "add from 
data" feature because it adds the bizobject.  Then delete the controls and 
then add sizers and controls that match my needs.  This works but I find it 
slow compared to the drag and drop of VFP.  I have been hand coding UI's for 
dialogs (classdesigner does not support creating modal forms).  Handing code 
them has been very easy but does take time.  But it also offers plenty of 
flexibility.  Using ClassDesigner takes about 10 min and hand coding about an 
hour.
