Thread Suggestion: Show a tree view of the objects on a form

It would be nice if EWB would show the objects on a form in a tree view. When an object is selected in the tree view, it would be selected in Object Inspector and in the design view of the form. Likewise, when an object is selected in the Object Inspector or in the design view of the form, it would be selected in the tree view.

In some cases, its not easy to select an object in the design view. It would be easy to select any object in the tree view.

In the tree view, objects could be dragged to another place in the tree.

I second this, my report generator does it and it is very useful.

A very good idea, and one I intend to include with the 2.50 updates to the code editor along with a "code treeview" that works in a similar manner for the code.
