Assuming you are talking about my Windoz pkg:
Yer right, the Desktop is just a "bitmap object" that can be placed on
the screen,
but is declared at such a low level that it can't do much else. Like
move,
get focus, etc.

GlyphBtn is just a button with a user-written grzphic (one declared as a
Euphoria sequence like you would use in polygon()...
   color, fill, {{x1,y1},{x2,y2},{x3,y3}}
Handy for things like check marks in checkboxes, other simple graphics.

You already figured out what ListBox does: nothing. Sadly, that is one
control I haven't gotten around to writing. Maybe this week.

I'd love to have a copy of those notes!
