Speaking of wishes... ;-) It would be cool to have an API compatible to Swing API. That way for Java coders the migration effort is nearly zero, and even for non-Java coders, the migration toward Java Swing after UNO (if they so desire) would be relatively painless. The rest of the UNO API already looks like Java API anyway, so it only makes sense. Just my wishful thinking. ;-) Kohei --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
