Frames and Forms - which one is more resource heavy?
« on: February 28, 2016, 02:58:19 am »
I am torn between frames and forms in applications. Frames are easier to use, but forms seem to offer more flexibility. Which one is heavier on resources and does it make much of a difference?

I am also interested in modifying them via the Object Inspector at runtime, but it seems the Object Inspector cannot recurse into frames at runtime. I have a question on that here.

I replied in the other thread, but just to make sure:
Frames are a design-time only container by concept. As such a frame shouldn't take up any resources at all at runtime.
Due to censorship, I changed this to "Nelly the Elephant". Keeps the message clear.
