Abstract
A method and system is provided for allowing designers, who are primarily concerned with the look and feel of the program, to modify the dialogs in an application being developed without having to rely on the developers to generate executable code in each iteration. Intelligent defaults for parameters that are either not specified in a resource definition or governed by a common style specification are provided to facilitate switching from one dialog element to another without requiring that all of the parameters be specified again.
