Hi Edward, Steve, It's possible to use classes and objects only while using gtk3.
Have you a preference for using c++ in netman? As Jude Nelson said: c++ is not a standardized language. Aitor. Edward Bartolo <edb...@gmail.com> writes:

It's "has-a", not "is-a". You need to name the whole chain when calling an element (someth->anoth->drei rather than someth->drei). If Edward's anything like me, we both learned OOP from that Philippe Kahn video where Philippe plays a horn and speaks of these three capabilities of objects: * Encapsulation * Inheritance * Polymorphism In my personal opinion, Encapsulation is by far the strongest benefit, and in fact I seldom use inheritance and almost never use polymorphism. So personally, I'm just fine with composing large objects with smaller component objects, all the way down the tree. Especially since a lot of that nesting can be hidden in methods (I'm pretty sure that function pointers can be used as methods in C). But technically, what you wrote above isn't inheritance. SteveT
