i played around with this today (before i saw your
reply, Geoff...) here is what i have so far:

http://www.fingerbird.de/downloads/IB_DSEditor.zip
(~7k zip with full source, tested with D5 and D6)

some notes:
- you must select the form or panel you
want the controls to be placed on (since
i haven't figured out how to drag'n'drop
onto the form designer ;-)

- you can choose AutoLabel or creating
separate TIB_Labels associated with the
controls.

- currently you can create TIB_Edits or
TIB_Comboboxes, but that could easily be
extended.

please take a look and tell me what you think.

cheers,
Frank
