Hi, furhter to my last thread about the callbacks i like aspects of both 
examples i was given and will build into final design considerations,
I rather like the facility to define size of window via the constructor as in 
Ian's example so might incorporate that.

But that leads me to something i have been thinking about regarding FLUID, or 
these GUI editors in general: Magic Numbers

When positioning my widgets in FLUID the live code is refreshed and clearly 
shows just the numeric values for x,y w,h etc, rather than any descriptive 
const data names.

Now i can understand this from a single programmer perspective, i dont have to 
worry about it as i am using FLUID and can design things WYSIWYG, but what 
about people involved at later stages? they will see a load of magic numbers 
littering the header and source for the window implementations.

Or are we to assume that anyone else involved in such a project would always be 
advised that GUI designer tool generated source and should be used to continue? 
Or is it customary to go throught the FLUID generated code after export and 
label everything up with consts?
