Anthony,
I think that you might be looking for the AppStylistRuntime component, which lets you show a dialog that enabled the editing of the currently loaded style. There is a sample called Dynamic Styling that ships with the NetAdvantage samples that you should take a look at. The gist of its use is that at run-time you show teh dialog with:
this.appStylistRuntime1.ShowRuntimeApplicationStylingEditor(this, "Title");

That's excellent, I'm not at my Dev PC right now, but could you answer the following?
1) Can you save ISL files from the runtime editor you mentioned2) Can I leave the editor in my distributed applications, or is it only intended for development use?
Thanks,
- Anthony
There is a save button on the AppStylistRuntime that you can use to save the current changes to a file. Additionally, this component is bound by the same restrictions that exist for the other NetAdvantage controls, meaning that you are free to distribute it in all the cases that you are allowed to distribute the other controls. This component is really meant to help designers and developers style their specific application directly, instead of through the generic canvases that ship within AppStylist. You can certainly distribute this with your application if you feel that your users would need such a tool, but it was not designed with a broader user base in mind.
