C7 Designer gets C6 compatiblity mode

As seen in today's webinar, the next release of C7 will feature a C6 compatibility mode to retain the decidedly non-industry-standard behavior of being able to have controls that are declared inside a container control but display outside the container control. In that compability mode the designer asks if you want to move controls into/out of the parent (i.e. tab) control, as in C6.

Also of note, the Applications Pad is getting more toolbar buttons and is intended to be the primary way developers interact with APP and DCT files.
