It's an external tool to extend PB Editor. The idea is to make easier the creation of integrated custom designers (like FormDesigner)

For the moment, it's an alpha verison:

PBCustomDesigner
(PB 3.50b3 - win x64)

Todo:
- read/write function
- synchronization system between designer view and file content (undo / redo / save / load )

How to configure this tool:
1- unzip file
2- register a new tool for auto start:

name: PB Custom Designer - Auto Start
CommandLine : PBCustomDesigner.exe
Arguments: "%FILE"
Event to trigger the tool : Sourcecode loaded
Checked option : Wait until tool quits

3- register an other tool to toggle between code view and design view:

name: PB Custom Designer - Switch Code/Design View
CommandLine : PBCustomDesigner.exe
Arguments: "%FILE"
Event to trigger the tool : Menu or Shortcut
Checked option : Wait until tool quits
Shortcut : CTRL+T (choose your shortcut here...)

Designer Logger Window
- This window manages all designer views
- If you close this window, the tool will stop
- show call stack trace

Sample:
- This is a custom designer for ".material" files, it remplaces the default PB code editor.
- Its source code of this example is provided

No hurry, don't forget to make a 32 bit version available too when you release the final though.
