Form Designer. Lets Users Modify Forms, Safely.
Sometimes it's the small things that make the biggest difference. Greatis Software recently published a new version of Form Designer, a small tool that can add a large measure of flexibility to the layout of your program's interface. By dropping the TFormDesigner component onto a form in your application, you give end users the ability to modify the layout and size of the controls to better meet their requirements. Moreover, the limits of this capability remain within your control, so the integrity of your layout is never compromised. Flexible and safe, Form Designer provides the best of both worlds...

Form Designer allows you to move and/or resize any control on your form. There is no need to prepare your form to use Form Designer. Just drop a TFormDesigner component onto any form, set its Active property to True and enjoy!
See a screenshot of a full-functional form editor based on Form Designer:
After activating Form Designer, you can select, move and/or resize any control in your form using either the keyboard or mouse. A form with Form Designer activated looks like the Delphi or C++ Builder form designer.
