I know that it can be done from other projects. You might want to check the options again. I have a couple of other things, I noticed when running Boa. In CVS Version from the 16th of January: - How can I select a wxListBox in the Frame Designer. (I can do it using the Objs Tab.) - How can I replace the main frame of an application and switch on autocreate for other frames? (This is probably something I just missed in the docs..) - I have been adding my own control and somehow Boa did not recognize what I have been done and editing this frame in the designer lead to code being deleted by Boa. There should be guidline on how to add own elements to boa so that the frame designer can handle it.
