Keep in mind that the API is in a state of flux; the Win32 and DOS libraries have drifted apart. And things will change even more once some basic controls are working. For example, the DOS stuff now has a set of variables holding system colors: WM_ActiveTitleColor, for example. This is absent in the Win32 code. The code logic isn't that hard; most of it already exists (for example, mgrButton). Some generic routines for centering text need to be ripped from Dos32Lib. I'm more concerned with getting a design for the controls that's modular enough to allow people to add new controls without too much trouble. I'll no doubt gut a lot of code from Dos32Lib. -- David Cuny
