Has anyone ever written a program that will convert a Delphi DFM into a skeleton EWB module (copy the screen positions, use generic buttons and labels and edits and such)?

Thanks

Not me, but I'd not want to do that anyway. EWB's layout options are so good I wish that there were a way to move them back to Delphi.

EWB's layout is all responsive, so while you can just plop controls around and be done, you are better off using the alignment tools to get a nice layout in my opinion.

The issue is how much of the existing controls/components correspond to EWB equivalents.  Once you start looking into it, you start to realize that it's almost easier to just set them up manually.  This is why we didn't try to provide an automatic conversion from EWB 1.x to EWB 2.x - it was just too different.
