Has i say, some week before, i prefere the vb4 to vb6 lol.

Has i say, some week before, i work on boxed class, to drive, multi toobar in 
one (like gimp, photoshop, etc...).

For gambas editor there is many way :

- kate system
- gedit system

in my idea, i see an editor box who can be in one by one windows, or many by 
one (with bookmark), or many by many.

Does you understand what i mean... A gambas ide by user... Move each edit as 
an object to another editor, will add in this one a new bookmark with the 
last one(drag & drop)....

I just need the capability to change a widget parent, and a form parent...

In fact, a good linux user, take one desktop for the major application...
But a good management of the toolbar help him to not have a messy workspace.

Just imagine : in the background you have your desktop with icons, you open a 
new project, after on your desktop, you open your gbmodule folder, and push 
it in background, do the same with picture, and then just drag & drop what 
you need. (work like a mac user)

I know i'm not very clear, don't worry, i've not drunk this night, it's the 
fault to my poor english... erf

well, weather is good, vine grown, and bird sings... life is pretty.
