I agree with that. > myWindow.create_widget<mylistbox> >(myapp::ENUM_ID_LIST_OF_ITEMS, Just a note. Ideally, the library won't have to deal with the numeric control ID's. You create a widget object and from now on you use the object's pointer/reference to access it (no need for an ID). One exception would be dialog boxes. Usually resource files are ID-based so we'll probably need to use the ID's. boost::gui::dialog<> dlg(IDD_HELLO); boost::gui::edit* hello_edit( dlg.get<boost::gui::edit>(IDC_EDIT_HELLO) ); Under the covers the get function would do something like this: template< typename T, typename ID = int > T* dlg::get( ID id ) { dlg::const_iterator it; for( it = begin(); it < end(); ++it ) { if( it->getid() == id ) return static_cast<T*>( *it ); } return NULL; } It'd be nice to get rid of numeric id's completely.
