- fpGUI's Visual User Interface Designer
- ======================================
-
-
-Introduction
-============
-
-fpGUI Designer is a port of a product called VFD written by Nagy Viktor in 2003.
-I ported VFD to fpGUI because I thought it would add a lot to the framework as
-a whole. I could see it has lots of potential and could easily be extended to
-become a great tool. What I immediately liked about VFD is that it used the
-same source unit and writes actual code describing the UI like I would have
-done manually. This departs from the GUI designers used in Lazarus or Delphi
-where they save the UI code to external files (*.lfm or *.dfm respectively).
-
-
-Features
-========
-
-* It uses the same source unit where your normal code lives. No external GUI
- files.
-
-* It can handle "unknown" or "custom" components and properties. Whenever the
- designer finds a component it doesn't natively know it paints a green
- rectangle in it's place. Whenever it finds properties it doesn't know it
- adds them "as is" to the Unknown section memo in the Properties window. Any
- code in the Unknown memo will be written back to the source unit "as is".
-
-* The designer can handle more that one form in a unit.
-
-* When creating a new form, that form can be merged into an existing unit or
- the designer will create a new unit for it.
-
-* The designer uses comment markers in the code to define what parts it will
- maintain. Existing code (Forms) can be easily amended (manually by the
- programmer) so that the designer can start managing it. No need to redesign
- Forms from scratch.
