My development environment is taking shape and I got room for the visual editor!!!! Something my grandma Irene helped me with!! She wasn't using Delphi before she died!!!! She made her own visual designer for her own programming language development environment! Thats what me and her were arguing about!!! When she was sitting at a computer on it!!

I'm working on my own compiler development platform as we speak incorporated into mine again!! My grandma Irene was Isotope / Nucleus, I was Molecular and Melissa was Atomic.... All had visual designers. 

How much her developer license didn't cost her!! She wasn't using Delphi!!! She wasn't dead yet but dying!! She told me not to remind her. 

I'm roughing in my Visual Designer view interface. I got it roughed in, resizing and zero flickering. It's coming together now. these few little bugs I can deal with until I use my visual editor to build my own controls for my own!! It drags non flickering and very smooth


Updated visual progress.



This will be for all my operating system desktop visual control designing. It will be in my own language and compiled; these are still things I'm working on getting done. The progress is just that progress it's all over the place it's a massive project. I am just one person. The quicker I get this moving along the faster it will go. Visual controls go on the Left it will be a scrolling panel and the toolbox on the right is development environment tools like a image editor, archiver, hex editor and things like that. 

Some things won't show up in the user control designer surface like in Visual Basic by Microsoft. For example, the designer surface identifier and the designer surface dimensions. I need a image and a mouse over now. The snap reference grid is put in.

I'm getting ready to implement the Visual Designer Design Control and the Visual Designer Design Control Container. Right now, I'm working out the margins and flow and the standard controls ill need. 

Right now, I'm adding the Visual Designer Surface grid plotting and color. I am also working on the control alignment marks. It adds the control the Visual Designer Surface and now I need to add moving and sizing of the Visual Design Control. Alse the deactivating event. I also got aligning and grid snapping to do with align markers. The one in the image is the Window Designer and the Visual Control Designer is minus the MenuBar, Toolbar and Status Bar Surfaces. I'm getting my Visual Design Control framework together so I can create Buttons, Text Edits, Layouts and Tabs. I have to setup GPU draw hook and I'm golden. I can simulate the hardware device input for now. Which is probably my choice or path at this point in time, the hook would be a raw GPU write to pixels. This will allow me to develop my Window Manager and operating system desktop as I go along on my journey. Its good enough for me.

This is drastically going to help me in my rapid interface design for my desktop on my version 7.8 revision 2026 of my operating system. Do I need domain level sockets maybe who knows... For some reason that seems familiar even as a kid. Eh, I like mine anyways. 

Once I get the Visual Controls toolbox going I can finish my Development Environment Toolbox and Plugin Frameworks. I need the Layout Control.
