is this your first venture using InForm-PE ?
how long did it take you from start to finish ?

I didn't answer your other question: Altogether about a day. Designing the UI took about four hours (with some mind-changing along with trial and error).

It's not my first InForm program. My first one was R2P, a rectangular-to-polar-and-vice-versa converter that also graphed the angle. a740g put it into his example programs.

Hope you don't mind if I add this one as well. These make great test candidates whenever I make changes or updates to InForm. The form itself looks really neat!
Thanks, please feel free.

While I have your attention: InForm has tabbing capability for its controls, but the controls don't have a tab order property; the order appears to be established in the order the controls are created and placed. I suspect adding a TabOrder property would be a major PITA. I ran into this when I was working through the design and realized I had left out the conduit type radio buttons. They fit into a particular place in the form but tabbing through was an adventure.

I find now that I can change the tab order manually by editing the VDrops.frm file, rearranging the __UI_NewID calls so they appear in the order I need. (see the attached updated files) I didn't find any mention of this behavior in the Wiki, if it's there, I apologize. If not, I think it would be worthwhile to add that as a handy tip.
