Martin (MSEgui) and myself having first hand experience in this will definitely tell you that there are much less bugs (simply because the code is simpler), easier to fix bugs too. And to fix a bug it's in one location for all supported platforms (99% of the time). But it has been discussed a million times before and not to be repeated here again. Lazarus wanted to take a different approach, by having a native look and feel and using native components where possible. I know this. I just think that LCL took the wrong approach in there implementation. Forcing Windows-ism on every widgetset the LCL supports - hence complicating implementations a lot. Take a look at Qt? No Windows-ism in it's design, no Win32 API types in it's design etc., yet it succeeds in the native look and feel on all large platforms. -- Regards, - Graeme - _______________________________________________ fpGUI - a cross-platform Free Pascal GUI toolkit http://opensoft.homeip.net/fpgui/ -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus.freepascal.org http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
