So just a brief, partial answer today, more when I get back on Monday. First off know that we did quite a bit during the last refactoring to isolate the "data contract" (ie the FIX message on the wire) from everything having to do with the GUI. We had some very strong business reasons to do that in addition to technical. It should go forward much better this way too. Bottom line is parameters are now very much concerned with how things look on the FIX wire. Widgets/Controls are separate and not necessarily one-to-one to a parameter. Much of what you are seeing relates to this move to isolate the two. If you have access to XML spy you can spin out about 277 pages of documentation from the standing xsd files. Some of the in-line documentation has bee upgraded but admittedly we still have a ways to go to bring it all current. More formal documentation is also in the works. I can be much more helpful to you on Monday when I'm back inside "civilization"...
