Preview forms from modules in layout mode to help reuse

One of the great features of HyperCard (don’t laugh!) was that you had a background layer where you could place elements used on multiple forms.

I have developed a technique where I define a basic reusable form in a module, place the form in my solution in a tabless tabpanel. Then I add any project specific elements on top.

The problem is that I have to guess where to place the additional elements.

If the placed form was previewed in layout mode it would be really easy…

This would make Servoy development even quicker…
