Why is the C#-form editor inferior to the C++ dialog editor when it comes to managing the layout?? I love the "rubber bands" in the C++ dialog editor, but where are they in the form editor!? :(( -- Giles wrote: You Scandinavians invaded my home land, like 1500 (+-500) years ago, and kept coming back for more.

Rubberbands? Do you mean the fit to grid feature? Nish :confused:

Not the grid, but the blue lines. When you put a control next to such a line, it sticks to the line.

| Button | <--- button edge lying on blue line

| | <--- blue linesSo when you move any of these lines, you also move the edge lying on the blue "rubber band". VC6 calls them guides. I love these rubber bands because it's easy to align gui components, make components the same size, etc. Something which I find really hard with the ordinary grid. -- Giles wrote: You Scandinavians invaded my home land, like 1500 (+-500) years ago, and kept coming back for more.

Oh okay. I get it now :-) Those lines sometimes annoy me cause they restrict the area where I can place my controls and thus my dialogs end up having a sort of empty margin on all 4 sides. So usually I just move these rubber band lines to the edge of the dialog where they are almost invisible Nish :-)

Yes, but did you know you can add your own lines? Click somewhere in the white space on any of the ruler controls (above or left of dialog editor). Now that's a powerful tool! -- Giles wrote: You Scandinavians invaded my home land, like 1500 (+-500) years ago, and kept coming back for more. You should be ashamed of yourselves.

Would a .RC ==> C# dialog converter be nice ? Just a thought.:~
sometimes it helps to look at the IL generated code a MS guy on develop.com "answering" .NET issues

If you feel you have very little to do, such a converter would be an excellent tool and material for an article. You're the VC/VS.NET converter guru on CP now.. ;) -- Giles wrote: You Scandinavians invaded my home land, like 1500 (+-500) years ago, and kept coming back for more.
