You mean access to the backend primitives?
nope. i mean access to widget object's internals.
The widget object should have only the backend widget handle as
internal. Well, and maybe signal storage.
is this a simple library with limited set of controls, or i
want it to
be infinitely extendable?
Provide a minimal set of controls and extended one in a
separate
library. Should be doable, I see no reason to fix the control
set.
the reason is that with fixed set i can greatly simplify
library code.
Winforms is simple and absolutely agnostic about controls.
