[...] You have my support when time permits. I know Qt like the back of my hand and I keep playing around with their designs to implement flexible widgets. I just don't have enough time for further in-depth development. A template based widget interface would be great for SDI / MDI windows, recursive container widgets, ownership, layout management, policy based input / output (string, wstring, stringstream, filestream, pipestream, ...), etc. It is hard to believe sometimes this is not yet done. ;) Philippe A.
