Could be 1.3.x I think.
I want to also add an application level global flag for the framework settings in general. I'd put it in Fl, but haven't looked if it already has one, if it didn't, add it, if it did, just add the new flag that I think would be very useful, a setting that says to always copy labels. This would add hardly any code size to the frame work (just a change in Fl_Widget). _______________________________________________ fltk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk
