hi there

beeing in need of dragging and resizing controls at runtime, i had a look at the LayDesigner class in ide/LayDes package. i hope to find there some answers, how it is done Smile

its quite difficult.

with some digging i managed to compile a test program that just starts up the class, it remains somewhat empy, loading a file there, i only get some kind of wierd behaviour, while i can see the surrounding margins only (some Ctrls).

??? is there any info/help available on how i could resize/change alignment of controls at runtime elsewehre?

??? is it possible to extract the LayDesigner class (and with it the LayDes class, that resembles the function)??

thx

PS: background is, is got some custom controls library and export their type and alignment through a factory to XML and import it also back..now the app just needs to load the xml through the factory. hence, i'd like to change appearance of the used controls and export it back to xml. (well thats much like the layouter itself in some ways, its exaclty what it does, but i need this function at runtime of application). i dont want to change to .lay format, my xml is just fine for that...

Attached is a short testproject, that starts a LayDesigner..but thats all i accomplished so far
