One big downside, of course, is that you can't really design things visually. What might be interested is a MWRB app that would let you layout boxes (perhaps with properties). It might work a bit like the window editor in the REALbasic IDE. Then, when you've got things the way you like them, you can spit out an XML file that specifies that layout. On the other side, in your "real" app, you would implement the ability to read such an XML file and recreate the visual objects that it specifies. Of course, you'd also want your layout app to be able to read its XML files back in so you can make changes to an existing layout. -- REALbasic news and tips: http://rbgazette.com KidzMail & KidzLog: http://haranbanjo.com _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe or switch delivery mode: <http://www.realsoftware.com/support/listmanager/> Search the archives of this list here: <http://support.realsoftware.com/listarchives/lists.html>
