How do all the scripts developers design their windows?
Yes, I know that MP!L offers a feature for creating windows, but how do they design these windows?
The windows are designed using XML.
How do they know how to position their control, how big it should be, etc?
But I doubt that every developer that has used windows (speaking those offered from MP!L) in their script have been entering "random" numbers for height, width, top and left until they found something that looks nice

There must be a way that allows you to design the window, expect using their XML Editor and having to guess the values...

And if there isn't a way, then I think I'll just use the good ol' VB forms, called from an ActiveX DLL...
And thats too bad, because the windows that scripts could make, were looking nice, since they adopt the style of WLM...
