I've uploaded the EWB 2 Preview Build 2.  I'm going to try to do a daily
build each morning as things progress.  This means bug fixes will come
quickly, but you may end up with half-done controls in some cases.

It fixes the following bugs:

1) There was a bug in the design-time dispatching of certain events like
OnSize.  The design-time environment was trying to execute the *form*'s
event handlers, which is a no-no since they don't actually exist yet.  The
result would be a "Value conversion error" design-time error.  As part of
this fix, the design-time environment was updated to include a more detailed
error message when this condition occurs.

2) There was an issue with the loading of components from forms in certain
instances.  Trying to add a TTimer to a brand new project's main form, a
compiler error would occur during the loading of the form, and the resultant
emitted JS would not be correct.

3) There was a problem with the way that the main form would be displayed at
application startup if its layout position was set to something other than
top left.  The form would end up being shown prematurely, and *then* would
lock into its layout position, producing a visible movement on the screen.

4) A fatal error would occur when trying to delete more than one control at
a time in a form.

5) The TListBox control's scroll bars were not being initialized properly
when first added to a form.

6) There are a bunch of small TToolBar fixes, such as making sure that the
navigation buttons appear/disappear properly when the toolbar is resized.

The following component changes were made:

1) The TComponent.Tag property is now published.

2) The TToolBarButton control now includes Repeat* properties for specifying
repeating tool buttons, and an AutoWidth property for having the width of
the button automatically size according to the Caption property.  Also, if
the Caption property is empty, then the icon will consume the space
previously used by the caption.

3) There is a new TDataSetToolBar control, but it isn't complete yet.  The
buttons don't update according to the dataset yet.  This control requires
several new icons that have been added to the TIconLibrary interface.

I'm working up a dataset example (sans grid, for now) that uses the new
TDataSetToolBar for the next build.  I've also got a form submittal example
almost ready to go.  Finally, I'm doing the audio for the control creation
video this morning (kids came over for dinner last night Smile), so look for
a link some time today, provided that I don't screw it up.....
