Thank you, David. The next release will have quite a few new things; 
recent project file list under File Menu, Project View, form lock, a 
configuration option to alter the default control values for name, 
title, CX and CY plus I am now saving some of the user settings. I hope 
to have it ready next week.

Ok, I will add that. For Popup editor as well.

I get to {General} in the dropdown Events combo box just fine and coded 
for Window1 and PushButton. The code produced in EXW doesn't have the 
{General} tag on it, however. Can you give me a bit more info about what 
is happening?

I'll see what I can do about this. I'm already in that area with changes 
related to Project View. When the user clicks on a node in ProjectView 
that is, for example, PushButton1_onClick, it should go right to editor 
for that control-event pair. So if I get that to work, I should be able 
to make your suggestion work too when coming from Design.

Thanks for the suggestions, David.

I saw your first post about moving a window with a combo/dropdown still 
open and I can get around it right in IDE by closing the combobox when 
the window is moved. Do you think that would that be ok until 
win32lib.ew has the fix in?
