2010/5/7 Michael Van Canneyt :

Mattias' explanation is what I meant with 'there is more than the editor to
lazarus'.

Yes I understood that. My point about "not being feasible" is that the
forms designer is way to integrated into the rest of the IDE, that
it's not simply a job of moving some units into  new project and
compile as a stand-alone app (process simplified for this message).
Meaning the IDE is not that modular.

This is ok, I was just curious if it would be possible - with
relatively little effort, which it clearly is not.

The designer drawing, mouse selection and aligning code is in a single unit designer/controlselection.pp. The code is one of the oldest units in lazarus and need some clean up. It contains several optimizations that are no longer needed.
Copy/Paste is almost as complicate as load, so you need big parts of the IDE.


The IDE is a pretty awesome piece of work, of a complexity which few people
realize, let alone grasp.

Just like 'fpdoc'.  :-)
