Yes it does make sense and it is a good idea.
I must admit I'm a bit of a combo box and list view junky and I've often thought that a few extra methods for these objects would make programming much simpler (and more perl like, rather than "coping" with the windows API). Up until a few days ago I didn't know you could use the Text method to get the selected text in a combo box previously I was using GetString with SelectedItem! I think the first step would be to give more information on the kind of thing you want to create. I'm sure several people on the list can contribute some ideas. If you end up with a set of methods, then they could be added directly Win32::GUI, or alternatively it could be a helper package that would be installed separately. Hope that helps, cheers, jez.
