That's great! Good luck! I think it will ve *very* hard to provide an interface that won't bind you to an underlying UI system. I'm quite interested in the development of this. I'm trying to develop some UI library myself - but with a different goal in mind: sit on top of a framework (ex: WTL/ MFC), and make it easier to work with them - sending messages, etc. And also, simpler *creation* of windows. That's it! (my personal oppinion is that going further is not worth the trouble, but I hope you'll prove me wrong) Best, John _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe & other changes: http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost
