Bruce (and others),
Borland rethought it and decided it wasn't really necessary,
But then they slowly dropped form the source code some of the design time units, and now Delphi doesn't allows you to use portions of its IDE in a stand-alone application, which is quite reasonable.
And Delphi is able to produce .dfm files at runtime and to read them back in.
I think there is also an open and free dfm to XMl converter around.
It is so self-contained that it is somehow waiting to be stolen as a generic app framework.
See above. I can also check the license, but I don't think there is any reference... --- -Marco Cantu' (Wintech Italia Srl) US: marco@marcocantu.com - http://www.marcocantu.com IT: marco@marcocantu.it - http://www.marcocantu.it
