That would be a very useful feature yes ! >> I also hit problems trying to have PLIB notify the gui code >> (and hence, Nasal script) when a text field lost focus - which >> is a useful point to be able to 'commit' the contents and update >> other UI state dynamically. > > Aren't <binding>s triggered then? Well, maybe not in all cases. > I'll look into that. I looked at it, and it seemed not, in this specific case, but I'm inexperienced with the code - I'm reading the existing dialogs, copying-pasting and trying to understand what I see (plus looking at dialogs.cxx sometimes for backgound).

I'll let you decide how to balance spending time on the PLIB GUI, since you know it better than me (or anyone else, it sounds like). I guess there is no chance of switching to osgWidgets in the near future? I've not looked at how mature that code is or isn't yet.
