It's always been a potential feature but with low priority. We're currently trying to gauge how much demand there is for this kind of feature so that we can plan for it in future versions.

I want to reverse the existing resource file contents of these VC++ programs having the GUI elements and make a standard Professional looking one. Can I use GUI design studio to read these RC files, standardise their look and feel in your product and produce again the new rc THAT I can use with the VC++ source code again ? Thanks in advance.

Even with dedicated development resources and constraints on the architecture or tools (that will almost certainly be present once an application moves into actual implementation and beyond 'version 1'), I think that the very nature of evolutionary development without some sort of up-front throw-away prototyping will miss opportunities for a better design. Presenting and evaluating multiple alternatives can be very tricky when you're building them into the application itself whereas a lot can be explored and learned even from quick sketches on paper. All the best, Jonathan Thanks for your comment, Justin.

I agree with everything that you've stated. I am a big fan of throw-away prototypes, however if you have dedicated development resources, and an architecture that is constrained to a specific set of tools/languages, then an evolutionary prototype can be the best model. Keep the articles coming. Thank you. Good Article. I agree with everything that you’ve stated.
