I hate to bring the flogging of dead horses back, as thats just
criminally insane. But when this VCL thread started a few days ago, an
immediate thought came to mind.
Max/Ian have spoken at great lengths decribing how to replaced TEdit and
the Grids, I wonder, how much do these new controls rely on the
underlying Win32 API....
Some of you may guess what I'm thinking, the common argument again a
Delphi for Linux is the VCL, because it is heavily tied to the Win32
API, if we start work on a partial VCL replacement that provides us with
a decent set of controls that perform how we want, that isn't directly
tied to the Win32 API, could such a VCL for linux be made?
Would it be possible to write these things in such a way that we
abstract any Win32 specifics out of the system, so that a GTK, QT, or
even Motif back end be used to provide cross platform cababilities?
Any thoughts???? Am I dreaming without a pillow as usual or what??
