Ed, My assessment of CW's class library would be "shallow with a germ of greatness." That is, architecturally it is innovative and very well conceived, but it remains somewhat feature-poor. I would much rather have this than the other way around since it provides a very solid foundation on which to build. An example: "buttonness", if I may coin the term, is an abstract concept unrelated to the visualization of the "button." As a result, the same button class can be used for Control Manager buttons, tool palette buttons, and menu items, each of which mixes in a different rendering class to go with the abstract button behavior. Throughout the architecture is similarly well-factored. Regards, Jeff Alger SBM International
