I was recently asked to add support for font names and font sizes in the tab control. In the past I would have made changes to the tab control, then add any new functions to the sample application and run the application. If I needed to test multiple fonts and font sizes I would have had to stop the sample application, make the change to the function call then run it again. With the designer I was able to do all of this on the fly. It made things so much easier. I'm expecting this type of time savings from future users as well.

With that said...yes, I've been making changes to the controls as I've been developing the new designer. Font support in the tab control is one. There have been other small enhancements to most of the other controls (e.g. reset capabilities). The designer required some big enhancements to the toolbar control. That will be my next task. To be honest, I'm really excited about this.

So, by time I'm done, the community will have a new tool and a new set of features that they can take advantage of in the UI library.
