Thank for the explanation. I don't see here nothing that I missed. > When I say that I prefer the gb.gtk behaviour, I mean I thought implementing > the same system in gb.qt4 too. That was what I understood. > Why? Because changing a control property is generally heavier when it is > already visible, because it must be refreshed. So it is perfectly logical that > controls are not visible when created (which is what do *all* GUI toolkits). Yes, that is logical. But isn't that Label remains with W=0 H=0 (making it invisible because have no dimensions) when a value is assigned to its Text property. This is what I'm talking about. > As for having "AutoResize = True" by default, it is not possible anymore, as > it will break the existing code, because of the rule about default values of > properties described above. But, that supposed than someone will want recompile all your own projects. Anyway, that's nothing than can't fixed by changing a line of code. Isn't so? However, this isn't a enough important topic. -- Fabián Flores Vadell www.speedbooksargentina.blogspot.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net Dev2Dev email is sponsored by: Show off your parallel programming skills.
