Lars, i would really like to use the "value"-functionality, to have the possibility to append a default-value to a shape, that appears in the dialog.

i started looking at things to implement it myself and spend days on the debugger, to get my head round how the source code work. But didn't get to the point and found it hard to understand what's going on without any documentation. Unfortunatly i have to drop DIA to use for that specific purpose.
