Any particular reason why other, non-Euphorian users of wxWidgets should be excluded from these benefits?
wxEuphoria is a wrapper on wxWidgets. Wrappers make things easier for the "foreign" language to be understood by the users of the "native" language. There was never any intention to doubt the validity of the approach of wxWidgets. There was every intention on my part to make it easier to express the thoughts of that "foreign" language using Euphoria, this group's native language, and hopefully make Windows programming easier using wxEuphoria. That it would be easier, is my personal opinion, shared by my students.
You are asking Matt (or anyone else who may want to follow up on and expand this idea) to redo the entire thing from scratch. Might as well ask him to re-invent the wheel.
I am NOT asking Matt to do anything. I am bringing before him a way of wrapping to reduce the number of functions, which HE can decide whether or not to use. The demo and the effort of the sudents was an exercise and far from perfect. To do it properly, one has to sit down and decide on certain ruls (such as using the same integer value for substiting say "Bold")
