The reason why xiaoyiao is referring to storing control information in alternative methods is because it is part of his mindset at the moment. He seems to be intent on reinventing the wheel (in a good way), see this thread - https://www.vbforums.com/showthread....91Like-Rc6-dll

I think we are seeing the results of his creative mind spinning off in tangents but I believe the result is that he may be in the beginnings of an attempt to create a new IDE!
