I haven't seen SpyWorks, but Delphi 1.0 does this right out of the box.

IMO, it has a better IDE than VB4, while offering a powerful language that
indeed can be compared to C++. Of course, SpyWorks probably enhances this,
but whatever it does, I'm sure can be built for Delphi too. The difference
is that any enhancements can be done with Delphi and doesn't require a second
development language.

VB is BASIC with a few added keywords and the possibility to use VBXs and
DLLs. Performancewise it's still the BASIC we've all learned to love/hate.
(insert rumours of the old QuickBasic being a true compiler here)

And I will have an even faster application implemented in less hours.
