As for why design changes are immediate, I assume it's:Fair enough. I am not familiar with Visual Basic. I know that in Visual C++ anything derived from the 'Object' class has that functionality built in. But nobody is going to expect anyone to change languages at this point for something as trivial as this discussion.
1) because setting up an object that represents the state of the screen so that you can back out changes in a transactional manner is a pain in the you-know-what, especially (I assume) in VB6.
2) because you're not supposed to be editing existing classes that have already been locked, so the equivalent of "exit without saving" is "delete design".
For the info box, on the other hand, I imagine Steve doesn't want to be changing the DB record with every keystroke. I realize that he could play fancy games that saves the record when the text box loses focus, but again, that's a pain to set up in a way that's not buggy.
