Ideally I think the box on the form should only display the elements associated with the module. Currently you’re showing all elements on each document but only have checked the appropriate ones. So maybe you should only store the selected items on the document, and do something else to actually choose the items… wether it’s a dialog box or whatever… Maybe we have a selection form in a dialog box with radio options for all the design elements… or something.. Maybe in the database open event, you write all the design elements (name and key) to lookup documents. Then you can even use an embedded view…

Now for a pie in the sky thought….

Do you know what would really be sweet? You combine quick elementer with the concepts behind Alan Lepofsky’s Paste Information Application. (http://www.alanlepofsky.net/alepofsky/alanblog.nsf/dx/paste-information-application)

It would be cool to add that to Quick Elementer so you could also store code snippets, functions etc.. So now you have those in the same place as your forms and other elements.

A toolbar icon that would let you get to the snippets, or module form to initiate the copy would also be awesome. Now this might almost be a complete replacement for the TeamStudio product.

Just some thoughts…

I do like the idea of filtering by a type. Would you expect to see the selecting items in the list? Maybe at the bottom of the list.

Also, while you are sorting elements by name or type, it would be nice to be able to filter by type. I can imagine there could be a lot of elements eventually so it might be more convenient to isolate the design elements.

Just some thoughts. It’s a great database!!
