Well heres my most recent project Its in the alpha stages, all the controls will work but they have limited properties at the minute.

Things that need added:
Open an XML interface.
Create a new form.
Everything to do with colours.
Everything to do with borders and images for controls.
A custom property window which oonly allows editing of propertys used with the XML schema.
A help file possibley

In a week or so i will make this open source as i have no intention of continuing to code it that much

Enjoy

Cool,

But this has a very big dejavu feeling... IIRC such a project was already made by somebody else I think (also not finished, etc).

yes as far as i know one was previously made but lacked the ability to move controls etc in the version, and this one will also be open source asap

looking forward to it to take a peek-a-boo behind the scenes...

If this works as well as I hope, I'm gonna fall in love with it... I'm currently re-using windows as I can't be bothered to design from scratch and this will greatly speed it up

Looks nice, crashed when I saved though.

You're writing .NET-code so anyone can see the source-code whenever they want. I am very much against .NET, but this looks nice!

Yup. Dempsey was working on Window Designer. But he never finished it.

I'm going to try this out immediately, it looks very promising!

UPDATE:
Now, that looks great, mate! I'm quite surprised by the fact that you really managed to transform Windows Forms into XML! Although there's still a lot of work to do, I hope you can continue working on this because it is awesome!

My personal list of bugs and to-dos:

• While typing in the properties panel, the Delete shortcut remains active. That means that if you try to press Delete to remove the next character in a text property field, you actually delete your control.

I love this program, however I doubt I'll use it for daily scripting use yet. Keep on developing this program, I'm sure that if you keep improving this, it may become a must-have for the whole community!

UPDATE 2:
Oh, you're planning to release the source... oh well, I hope another developer can pick this up, because I love it!

Dempsey seems to have been working on many things. But he never finished them.

This was requested a while back (a script that is accually a skin maker) and alot of people thought it would be difficult. Seems that it is possible....

Although this looks like a skin maker for Plus! windows, not Messenger itself.


Good job.
