Visual designer suggestion

8O It's very difficult to create a Visual Designer that may modify afterwise the composition and distribution of the gadgets without affecting the loops that are treating events , user routines and declarations . Every modification means generation of a new source , without them .
In respect to this , I propose a tip , succesfull to my old DOS IDE:
The idea is to include automatically three IncludeFile instructions , after Open_Window_... for let say p_1.pb , for declarations , the second after Event = WaitWindowEvent() , p_2.pb , with Select EventGadgetID() loops of gadget's case , and p_3.pb elsewhere , where you consider , where may be put user's routines and functions . If they aren't in the directory , VD must generate automatically three empty templates for them . If they exist , VD must let them unchanged . With an option of moving the editor easy to them and back to the generated source and another option to generate a source with them already included , the problem is solved .
In my opinion , Visual Designer is very good and it misses only few thigs :) .
