You can postedit resources in a binary, or overlay them with translated resource DLLs. You can't do so with generated code. Also, Borland's Java product, JBuilder is very close to a Delphi that does that. Problem is that the interaction between design and writing code in handlers gets lost, unless the system can also parse the code. And then it must be very hardened so that editing by users doesn't kill the parsing. JBuilder failed that test. The designer constantly broke if you touched generated code, and if you didn't, the system was less flexible than Delphi. -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
