Hi Art I think you must be using quite an old version of ivib, which stored the layout in a separate file (*.layout), and then generated the source code from that file. The way to make changes to the generated source and then change the layout, and incorporate the changes into the source, is to set "interpose in existing file" to true, and then generate code again. The effect of this is to maintain the modified source file contents, except for the component_setup method (I think that was the name), which is re-created, and stuck in the middle of the modified source file, replacing the old one method of the same name. Current ivib stores the layout in a comment at the end of the source file, thereby getting rid of this two-file complexity. The latest ivib is on my webpage http://www.parlett.dial.pipex.com. Hopefully this version will be integrated into the sourceforge distribution sometime soon. Hope this helps, Robert. ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: OSDN - Tired of that same old cell phone?
