with specs? then it will be same as toolbuilder, no? my point is that the role of uimanager is to provide protocol(s) for basic stuff, and dont make it too wide. As for ui builder , i think it would be nice to have real ui editor which can serialize UI either into source code, or since we have fuel, we can serialize it into a bunch of bytes and then store them either in file or in image. > Stef > > >>> Hi! >>> >>> There is this method: >>> >>> -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= >>> UIManager>>multiLineRequest: queryString centerAt: aPoint initialAnswer: >>> defaultAnswer answerHeight: answerHeight >>> "Create a multi-line instance of me whose question is queryString >>> with >>> the given initial answer.
