Group gadget constants by type (for easier reordering and compreension)
and include the text of the gadget has a comment in gadgets (makes it easier
to identify them):

;- Gadget Constants

; Frame Gadgets

#Gadget_0 = 0 ;The thing

; Text Gadgets

#Gadget_1 = 1 ;My first label
#Gadget_2 = 2 ;bla bla bla
#Gadget_3 = 3 ;
#Gadget_5 = 4 ;

; Button gadgets

#Gadget_6 = 5 ;Load
#Gadget_7 = 6 ;Save
#Gadget_8 = 7 ;Quit

; String gadgets

#Gadget_9 = 8 ;<Empty>
#Gadget_10 = 9 ;<Empty>
#Gadget_11 = 10 ;Your name here
#Gadget_14 = 11

The nem version will look different, no more "#Gadget_6 = 5"

At first: Berikco, you makes a very good work with Visual Designer! Thank you.

But nevertheless, please let me give some suggestions for future versions of Visual Designer - I hope that could give you some ideas...

1. The "design dialog windows": it should be possible to hide them (from the MS Windows taskbar). If you don't have Windows XP, where you can group the items, you have for each dialog an item of them in the taskbar...
2. Options for windows: There lacks the "ParentWindowID".
3. Additional "Flags" (Windows API constants) for gadgets etc. - would be nice, if I could them add, by entering the API constant name... (or something similar).
4. Taborder: If you want to change the position of one (!) gadget, you have to click on all others on the form (is not exactly true ), to give the right order - it's a little bit unhandy . You have this cool "Object Viewer" - why do you don't set the taborder there, via drag'n drop? Or maybe any other method...
5. This one I would love: A possiblity to export/import a single window/form.

Hmm. OK - I think, this is enough for the moment .

Best Regards
Andy

To point 3:

If have found an hint to add extra parameters:

There is an file "Visual Designer Constants.prefs" in the program directory - there you can add additional flags...
