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).

Having just posted a 'Line' View I 've changed my mind about how easy it is, even if you are experienced!

                At present I'd have to go back and forth between the form and the drawing program adjusting lenghts etc.

If you want precise, quantified (in various units such as Point, mm, Universal Unit) control of View sizes and positions in
Forms, or other Containers, try CpcFormTidy. The user interface is not perfect, but it is good enought to make improving
it low priority.

Cheers, Robert
