Building a IDE Interface like Visual BASIC...

I want to know if anyone knows of any controls or has built and IDE similar to that of Visual BASIC. We have a need to do much data collection. However, each one is slightly different. What I would like to do is have an empty form, where we could add a tab dialog, then add labels, textboxes and comboboxs to the form. Give the user the ability to move the controls at runtime in design mode and then bind the controls to a data source. Future enhancements would include validation, range checking, etc.

Must be able to drag and drop controls from a toolbar to the form. Move the controls in design mode, then lock them in place for data collection mode.

Anyone know of a program that already exists like this? I'm looking for something that will give me the sizing handles on the controls that will allow the user to customize the form.

Let me know if you need more information on what I need.

Thanks, Snaggs
