Yes. The dashed lines that help you align controls look like D.2006
and VS.2005, but the ability to type text right on the form (on a
label / in a textbox / in a button - not only in the grid) is really
nice, as is (what looks like) the way that putting controls next to
existing controls automatically resizes and repositions the existing
controls.

Hello Jon,
It also repositions controls when you insert one in between others.

And XCode before D2006 and VS2005.

The ExpressLayoutControl from Developer Express does this, ableit a bit
differently. However, once you get used to using it, you won't ever go back
to the old way of placing controls on a form.

That could get annoying fast if that wasn't what you intended to have
happen. Much like the typing features in CNWizards - more hassle to
undo what you never wanted it to do rather than just doing it yourself.

The edit in place of the label is excelent. Delphi must have that.

meh, Access does that and it is always confuses when you want to click
and move something or click and type something. You have to train
yourself to click the way Access wants you to.

I like this. It looks like if the dashed lines show up it marks all
those controls as auto align. That would be a huge time saver.

Must have the horizontal and vertical lines to help layout stuff too!

 If those BDS guys keep it up pretty soon my granny is going to be
programming. I am gonna stick with good old Visual Studio where real men pit
their wit and skill against the force of evil. <G>

I tend to agree. I have in "stock" some big entry forms where I don't
think automatically alignments and reposition works good (in other
words, you don't know the weird preferences my boss has for such
things).
But still, the thing is cool and if that IDE has some options to
disable the "auto" (positioning, resizing, moving, etc) than it is even
cooler.
