"However, those issues are important to me but not critical. The real
showstopper for me, when I was considering doing more real work in
BlackBox,
was the comparative difficulty of achieving some relatively basic
operations
that happen 'automatically' in VS and BDS applications. Just one example
-
when a user resizes a form which contains a table which fills the form,
I
want the table on the form to also resize in sync. I spent much time
trying
to work out how to code this in BlackBox without success. In Delphi the
*only* thing I have to do is set the 'Align' property of the table to
'alClient'. "
I agree that there could be a lot of improvement in handling forms and
controls. It is easy to adapt FormViews to resizing a forms content pro-
portional to the size of teh vies but things get complicated when fonts
in the
controls also should be resized.
