As for standard elements (Boxes, lines, ??) if these are inert
graphical entities they would be very easy to write (sorry Bart!).If they are intelligent (eg support Guards etc) then they are more work,but not excessively so.

Agreed, just making a line view or box view is not difficult. But facillities like resize handles, guards and such are (unless you are so experienced that you already know). At present I'd have to go back and forth between the form and the drawing program adjusting lenghts etc. My point is simply that basic layout elements should be in (or easily added into) the forms editor and not up to each programmer who'd need these to develop themselves.
 
Just a note. I'm not trying to "have everything". Just simply those facillities which are so close and in line with what's there already. 
 
Cheers, Bart
