this ribbon control is fucking annoyng lol

(Assuming you're writing code in VB and not C#)

Under the file button, label one of those text your editor name, double click on it. Once you've done that, type

GIJoe.MdiParent = Me
GIJoe.Show()

go to the solution explorer, right click the very top file, go to Add, then Windows Form. Copy and paste everything from your existing GI Joe project into the new one within your AiO. Then name is GIJoe.vb
you should have one editor in your AiO now

when i do this i pretty much have to build it all over agian correct meaning the look of it but just copy and paste my source

Not really, the visuals are stored along with the code, they are seperate but are stored as one, nothing will need to be changed and if you do it will be very minor.
You can on the other hand completely rebuild the visuals so instead of launching a form per editor you remake the current one, theres tons of ways to do it but i guess the easiest might be panels you just hide and show with all the editors specific controls on, or hell you can recycle the same controls and just put editor code in modules or giant if statements.

I like designing editors the best, coding not so much but its not hard and i pretty much just copy and paste from my older works now anyway and just throw in something for science.
If you want to do a collab sometime hit me up, im working on an xbla game thats piss easy to work on i just can't be bothered.

Can't stand ribbon controls myself, it seems so pointlessly fiddly for what is basically a cheap graphic trick, same with wpf, great transparency options, piss poor compatability with the users.

I can understand how a person would feel if they were working on an editor and you might have released yours first: they might have wanted to make theirs be the first out and could get a little upset about it. But I can't imagine that it would go any further than "well shucks, I guess mine won't be out first, good work" and then move on. There's no reason in the world for a mature person to make a fuss about their work not being the only one.

So yeah, unless you yourself just don't feel like making editors anymore, then there's no reason to stop. I understand that the only ripples you want to make in the community are the good kind (I feel the same way) but if somebody is making a huge deal about something as benign as who has the best editor for such-and-such game then you'd probably be doing the community a favor by running them off via butthurt. The mature programmer wouldn't fight back with mean words, they'd fight back with honest competition, or better yet they'd attempt to team up with you.

If, at any point, you mention making an editor for a game and somebody says "I'm already making one for this game" then make yours anyway. Chances are they're just letting you know that they're already making an editor so that (A) you don't get upset when you release yours only to have theirs released as well, and (B) so that you don't feel as though you have to make one or one won't be made. Besides, you never know, your editor might be better than the other person's, or it might do more things, or even different things. All's fair in love and war, as they say.
