Hey guys, Thanks for all the great responses. I am really looking forward to trying some of the suggestions. It would be a great learning tool - however the reality is this - I needed a solution quickly. And as such I did the unforgivable - no! that is not true - I am not a religous zealot! There is nothing wrong with using the right tool for the job right? :) So I fired up VS and within 20 mins had a working progam using VB.NET. I showed it to my boss and he loved it and has asked for a few tweaks - which took a few hours but by the end of the day I have a fully functional scrolling text program. I still want to try and do it with C++ though as that is where my passion and interests lie. Wouldn't it be great if C++ weer a RAD tool? Or maybe not! Now that would be an interesting debate. _______________________________________________ fltk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk
