With the availability of Spec, this latest example, and your previous examples (Drag Panels, Cards, MorphicDraw), I feel like I am one (theoretical) step away from understanding how to create a Spec UI Widget Builder/code generator. Good. I find creating those small prototypes and producing a screencast about them a good way to document my learning. I've had great suggestions on things to improve and even people using the tools, and I'm very happy that I can help create a better understanding of our UI tooling. I try not to let my heavy VB past influence me too much when it is not appropriate, but the idea of dragging widgets to a canvas, using some tools to apply layouts, and knowing what event messages are available to you appeals greatly to me. I've always wanted to try that, and it seems quite possible now. Thank you! Rob That was one of the early attractions of Delphi too. Nice for small prototypes but difficult to scale. No good tools to change the text field background color in all 135 forms. Good to combine with a generated application, where less used views and flows are generated automatically and you only override important views.
