Would be nice to get a list of buttons, lables and so forth used in layout designer. There is no way of syncing them up with variables that are dimed. Even a printout would be good.

wish-list of assests in layout designer

Ni I mean I have dims in code and items in the layout designer. In code they are under globals so I can see them. However, I do not have a list of all of the assets in the layout designer. So it would be nice to get a list of all of the assests use in the .bal.
layout designer has a tons of things
panel1, button2, button2, label1.....
panel2, button4, label9....
So how do I know what all of these elements are? If I delete stuff from code (Dim) then I may be deleting something that is needed in the bal.
So, in the layout designer have a button 'elements'. Click it and you get a list of every element used in the bal. Then I can copy/paste it or print it out. Then I can look at the dim variables list to make sure they are correct spelling and such.
Also, there are times when I don't know exactly what I called a element on the layout designer. So if I had a printed list, then I just look at the list to know. It'd save a lot of time.

Until Erel figures out exactly what you need, here is a workaround you can use that will partially address your request:
1. Open the designer and select a given layout.
2. When you see the designer and abstract designer adjacent to each other, click Tools, then 'Generate Members'.
3. You will see all the views for the given layout in alphabetic order. You can then make a print screen and print it to match it with the globals content.

mahreaz, that seems like it would work, assuming a jimmy rigged way. Still would be nice if the list could exported. Thanks
