>>>So, even though the IDE does not have that on little step (visual creation a new sublass, which is indeed an obvious omission), you can very simply create a new sublass in code with 1 line of code, then use the Class Diagram to work on it form then on, and go to the code also, any time you want. See screen shot for all the things you can do to a class definition from the visual tool.

>>Under "two way", I meant that if you have set properties in code, and then they are set visually, the code changes. Also, if code changes, the visual aspect changes immediately. At least that's how it worked in Delphi a dozen years ago. But then my memory of it is a bit fuzzy - it was code but it could have been just a special PEM-sheet like section of the code.

If it's what I saw in '95 in Delphi, then cool... something I always wanted to have in VFP, but then PEM window came quite close.
Just like a friend of mine said a few years ago on a Microsoft-sponsored promotional stand-nibble-and-drink event, "I completely agree that Active Directories are a good thing, and it's good that Windows networking uses them". The present Softies of Serbia looked at him hopefully, knowing that he praises M$ very sparingly. He went on "If it wasn't so good, why would Novell have had it a dozen years ago?".
