Perhaps there are some apps which mix .NET and win32 (I mean mixing in a nice way and not overriding wndproc and evil stuff). Years ago Paint.NET was ported over to Mono. I don't remember what they did but I guess they mainly removed some win32isms. The code to paint.net used to be available (I think the 3.0 source still is). You could check if it is a well behaving .NET app which uses win32. Getting Paint.NET working on mono+wine could be a good test case. Note since both of you are in MSP that might have advantages as well. Roderick
