Thanks for the help! I've started experimenting with this, and tbh

The downside is that it's tricker to manage, but it gives me some

benefits:
One big downside, of course, is that you can't really design things
visually. What might be interested is a MWRB app that would let you
layout boxes (perhaps with properties). It might work a bit like the
window editor in the REALbasic IDE. Then, when you've got things the
way you like them, you can spit out an XML file that specifies that
layout. On the other side, in your "real" app, you would implement the
ability to read such an XML file and recreate the visual objects that
it specifies.
Of course, you'd also want your layout app to be able to read its XML
files back in so you can make changes to an existing layout.
Seems kind of odd that in a visual IDE like RB we have to resort to
writing our own IDE to create interfaces that don't flicker like mad
