Hi Denis,

welcome to OOo - you heroically picked a task that sounds like _a lot_
of work. ;-)

AWT is a UNO wrapper around native window and control classes - you
should start with those (class Window and derivees). Rendering is
performed via the OutputDevice class.

This is not to discourage you, but OOo is a _huge_ beast - and
derived classes quite up in the application code sometimes depend on
the order of calls like SetFocus() or Activate() (which is one of the
reasons why plugging in a different toolkit as VCL is so hard).

Cheers,
