My proposal is to use Delphi, and build a tool with it which is like Delphi. The task would be just to write such an app, not too hard probably. Delphi is written in itself, as you know. I have already written some generic application with about 20 generic widgets, which are all configurable at runtime. And Delphi is able to produce .dfm files at runtime and to read them back in. It is so self-contained that it is somehow waiting to be stolen as a generic app framework. I'm wondering why nobody does it.
Maybe I should do this now.
Errhmm, can it be that exactly this is forbidden by Inprise? I somehow remember that I've read some statement that I may not use Delphi to code a Delphi-like IDE. Did I dream, or is it true? anxiously - chris -- Christian Tismer :^) <mailto:tismer@tismer.com> Mission Impossible 5oftware : Have a break!
