>>and I'd keep adding stuff to the oCbo on-the-fly, and intellisense was at hand. Even the size and position was easy to do this way, retyping a few digits from another control with which this one was to be aligned was no problem. I actually found this, after some practice, easier to do than ctrl-clicking or navigating through containership hierarchy in the PEM window to get to the place where I want to add the control. Getting the hierarchy right is easier with keyboard and intellisense than through visual editing means, IMO. Or I'm just the old keyboard type and clumsy with the mouse :).

I called them „half-baked builders“ and even wrote an article somewhere about it... maybe Advisor as of 20 years ago? :)
