True. No designer, object inspector. You would have to create them in

Yup, I gathered that much... Hence the "dreaming" tag I used. :)
I just can't believe how bad things have become in Delphi. A commercial
"professional" and "enterprise" quality product - it's everything but
that! And the asking price is higher than it has ever been before.
Amazing what a strong hold Embarcadero has with their "ransome-ware
pricing model" on corporate companies. The open source alternatives are
simply miles ahead - but corporates are reluctant to budge. Instead they
will consider (toy with the idea) a rewrite of a multi-million lines of
code project into C#, rather than move to open source development tools
where they can keep the huge code base, the same language and reuse the
same development skills. How weird?? Have corporates lost their minds.
