There is many kind of interface..; in fact...

I've tested the ide with the rob work... buti find that i lost many place...
In the paste i've worked with vb 4... and when i've updated  to vb6 i was
horrified by the difficulty to draw forms...

And by the difficulty to find the good opened windows in the back...


So a good compromise, will be to have the possibility to chose...

My idea in fact is a total modular system... With an mdi option ... i think
 it will be possible by adding at less to thing :

the reparent concept
the dockarea...

By this way, it allow to have the tool windows docked as you want:

1 (one windows per level separate by a splitter)
2 (one windows per level separate by a splitter)
3 (one windows per level separate by a splitter)

or
12 (two windows in tabs)
3 (one windows per level separate by a splitter)
or

123 (tree windows in tabs)


And you can manage that by drag and drop... easy no ?

It's the gimp system...

And you can have one module in one windows if you want too,

And i think the same for the editor windows...

I SEND HERE A SHOT OF MY IDEA... BUT IT'S A SHOT NOT REAL CODE

And the better will be to have a form with 3 dockarea and a workspace (for
editor only)

the dock area will allows to display and lock the tool windows where we
want...
