3) And lastly, the style that I prefer, is to leverage the size and location of existing objects to build the form on the fly. The way this works to to use all the builtin Kixforms positioning and sizing properties to quickly acheive a form effect (ever wonder why there were SO MANY position and sizing methods in Kixforms - this is why)

So for example, what I do is picture how the form will look in my mind, then describe it using words (again, in my mind), example:

code:

---

The form will 600 pixels wide by 400 pixels
 in height. A listview will be positioned in the upper
 left corner of the form and extend halfway
 across the width and fully down to the bottom
 (less about 10 pixels for a border). Just to the
 right of the listview, will be a 100x30 button
 containing the word "Exit"

---

code:

---

Break On
 
$Form = CreateObject("Kixtart.Form")
 
$Form.Size = 600,400
 
$ListView = $Form.Listview
$ListView.Location = 10,10                 ; Upper left
$ListView.Right = 0.5 * $Form.ClientWidth  ; Half the width of the form
$ListView.Bottom = $Form.ClientHeight - 10 ; All the way to the bottom
 
$Button = $Form.Button
$Button.Left = $ListView.Right + 10        ; Just to the right
$Button.Top = $ListView.Top                ; same as listview
$Button.Size = 100,30                      ; 100x30
$Button.Text = "Exit"                      ; The caption
 
$Form.Center
$Form.Show
  
While $Form.Visible
 $=Execute($Form.DoEvents)
Loop
