I know what you mean

I't is like in MS-Access.
There when you design a form you can 'preset' the size, color and more
This is done by open the propertie sheet not on the control at the form
but at the toolbox.
Change there size/color/font/align and more.
Would indeed nice to have.

Also you can add/remove a label for textbox and style them.
Adding a textbox adds also a label beside of it automagically.

The label is a child of the TextBox control
txtMyTextboxMemberID.Controls(0).Caption="Member ID"

I like btnMyyz# instead of Button#, could also be done wheni'm right to remember
as default name for the control.
