Description Dejan Glozic CLA 2002-01-27 19:50:58 EST 
The following needs to be done to make the GUI pages in PDE forms editors more 
useful:

1) More actions of the 'Edit' global menu should be supported (Select All, Cut, 
Copy, Paste, Find)
2) Disabling elements that has the same effect as commenting out (it actually 
may be implemented that way). A special token may be made part of the comment 
to differentiate it from user comments.
3) Move up/down - controlling sibling order. Selected element will move ahead 
or before its sibling within the same parent.
4) Extensions page in manifest editor must be more usable (it is still somewhat 
easier to browse XML source, which was not the intent)
5) Tabbing to hyperlinks and other controls in forms must be followed by 
scrolling to ensure that control in focus is always visible.

The following features are implemented:

1) Clipboard operations (Cut/Copy/Paste)
2) Undo/Redo
3) Move Up/Move Down in Extensions page
4) Drill down (Go Into) in Extensions tree

Scrolling to ensure visible is pending on 10511.
