We spend a lot of time tailoring our user interface so that it is _j-u-s-t
s-o_ for the next customer.
It would be nice to just hand them the components and say "Here! Build your
own @#$% user interface." The same is true about reports, but more so.
<Generic Widget Cannery GWC>
What I'd really like is a generic (or abstract) GUI layout tool --
free-to-me-but-not-to-you (Berkeley class license)-- toolkit that would let
me take a generic widget shape, attach it to a predefined class and then
bundle it all together in a canned VB-esque task delimited tool that would
be proprietary. It would be a layout and design meta-tool to package code
into a canned GUI kit. Windows and widgets in a box -- no programming
needed.
(Actually, an MS licensed development tool would go over even better in this
shop than portable freeware.)
<How would I search for specified development tool?>
