Lack of DE in class based forms at design time.

Lazy guy that I am, I miss the drag and drop to place controls and

labels from the DE at design time.

I've changed the default form to ibizobjform in

common\ilibs\iforms.vcx and all the field mappings to their respective

controls in common\ilibs\icontrls.vcx and set them as default.

I can now create a form in the visual designer, add tables and views

to the DE and drag and drop to place controls on the form. I then save

as class to aforms.vcx to finish the editing and add the bizobj etc.

(change lv_ to v_ in the controlsources).

I know that this will only work when the form is created, but if I

take the time to set the captions in the tables I end up with a lot

less work with the original creation of forms.

Question is wether I am missing something?
