Judith, Very good! I'll take a look at newest version :) re TAB CONTROL, you said: "Right now, you can only have one TabControl but many TabItems. Just keep dropping TabItem on top of the prior one. Use the combo box to switch between them." Right, I figured out how you made it work for the IDE, & thought that was pretty neat & easy to use; I just thought you should provide for the possibility that someone might want to put *more than one* tabControl in a window, which IS doable in Win32Lib, but not in your IDE. You could add a "TabControl" button to work with the existing "TabItem" one, such that using "TabControl" button makes new tab containers, and clicking on "TabItem" makes new tab items for the selected TabControl. Or, to save space, make the one "TabItem" button work two different ways, depending on where the user clicks in the design pad: if you click in the window outside a TabControl, it adds *another* TabControl there; if you click *in* a TabControl in the window, it adds a TabItem to it? ToolTip hint the button "Tab Control/Item"? re FULL SCREEN ACCESS TO DESIGN PAD: I think I'd rather one window, with control selection buttons at top, and scroll bars h&v in the design pad itself, and have that window *start out maximized*. What do others think? What about "paste/replace"? And what did you think about auto adding lines between "procedure xyz" and "end procedure" ? "BUG" in NOT most recent version which might also still be in most recent: If you click on a control-creating button, it shows it "depressed", as one would expect; if you click again, it shows it *not* depressed, but it is still *functionally* selected, and if you click it again, it will *not* show depressed until you click on some other button and come back. My guess would be if you click on a depressed button, it should deactivate that selection, functionally as well as visually, and *any* time you click on a not depressed button, it should select it.
