David, this is a fantastic tool. It makes stuffing a few controls on a
window really fun.

I would like to contribute a little helper to this very useful GUI builder.
I wrote an object explorer. It understands ... erm ... it reads and tries to
understand Perl Win32::GUI scripts, packs the controls, together with their
properties and methods, in a multidimensional hash and graphically displays
that.

The next step will be to export changes to the props or meths back into a
perl script. And then I want to provide a code editor instead of a simple
textfield to edit the methods. I.e., syntax highlighting, auto indentation
and all the fancy stuff you'd expect. I use UltraEdit for my perl code and
it's soooo convenient.

Anyway. I can certainly do the export thing, but I have zero experience with
richedit for the code editor part. Anybody got some hints or wanna join?

Please have a look at the GOE (GUI Object Explorer) at
http://www.fairymails.com/perl/
Download either goe.zip or the the other three files (which are actually the
contents of the zip), start goe.pl and give it a Win32-GUI script in the
fileopen dialog. If it happens to find a *.ui file of the same name, it
offers to include this as part of the script - this is to interface to
David's gb109. Maybe we can melt the goe - once ready - into the gb and call
it ide?

Feeedback welcome - especially bug reports if you have a script that I fail
to parse correctly.

Thank you
Harald
