Next Gen Visual Designer front end -testing - Jules Marchildon - 12.10.2026
I wonder if a few people can test out my latest compiled version work in progress. This isn't going to be a full fledged designer + code generator, just a quick start with a a few of my own new personal features, when I get to that point in life. I will make it available (source code) as custom control and include a small demo how to use it. But for now it's just the binary test file.
Here's the link to down it... https://www.mediafire.com/file/cj81pj7vda5a3vq/dmsVDesigner.EXE/file
Sorry, forgot to embed a default AVI file. It will create a temp avi file in the same folder as the exe, it cleans up once you exit. Once I add the properties dialog, you can swap avi files during design time.
Thanks in advance!

Looks good, works fine. Don't know if we are supposed to test anything at this stage, but here's some things anyway: Redo seems to miss some of the last redo actions. Form and Tools start at same 0,0 position and Form has two looks since it is MDI base - "old" looks turns to new looks (sort of) when maximized. Maybe DwmSetWindowAttribute that you recently showed me exist can be helpful there. Select multiple controls works fine and keyboard size and move also seems to work fine. I like the outside grippers. Maybe should protect the Form from being closed via system meny x (%WM_SYSCOMMAND), because once gone - always gone.
