In that case, I have to give you a BIG thanks! :) Your idea with fpGUI is what is paying my salary now. I continued development of your code for about a year, just as a hobby. About two months ago we evaluated fpGUI for use in our commercial software. I got the go ahead and started active development working full time on it for the last two months now. I rewrote fpGUI (and the fpGFX backend) from scratch, implementing new design ideas and basing the widgets on a 'windowed' design. Every widget has a window handle. Things are looking great at the moment. :) > will follow. Now we know that there is no clear favourite.

The Lazarus LCL did not work for us. Being able to customize everything, having a very small 3rdParty library requirement and being implemented in Object Pascal (the only language we now use) was another big bonus. fpGUI has been revived and lives on! :-) Regards, - Graeme - _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
