Thanks for the advice . I agree with your final comments about addons upto a point ;
o Tree and Table widget shouldn't be addons - database access yes o It is quite confusing to a occasional user to try to track down useful addons - with different make systems etc. o SPTK seems to be active project and thus in some sense would help fltk tick along. I would offer to help intergrate a number of these packages if i though all parties would agree etc. > On 15 Jun 2008, at 17:04, Andy Page wrote: > > > I have an FLTK application that now needs a TREE and TABLE widget, > > i see that 1.3 is going to have these features - but as far as i > > can tell they aren't present yet.
