I would like to see the plans on how would we approach the porting,many views use direct Win32 API calls for mouse events, keyboard, painting, etc. What would the proper way doing this, create a class with a bunch if if-defs and just calling that. If there are plans on what to do, I could spend time porting the correct way instead of doing it the incorrect way.
