That's ok in any context. Widget = Visual control in any gui library (at least under unix), so under qt widget = QWidget and descendants, under gtk widget = GtkWidget and descendants, under lazarus Widget = TWinControl and descendants. What's unclear here ? That we have TWinControl instead of TWidget ? > > If Bo goes to his system supplier and asks which widget set is installed > and they ask what he means, he isn't going to get very far by starting > to talk about TWinControl etc. Instead he needs to say something along > the lines of "what's on there- GTK or Qt, and what version?". Yes, WidgetSet is not TWinControl (so no need to explain what's TWinControl etc) , but gui library which provide native widgets, so correct answer to such question could be qt,gtk,win32,carbon,fpgui etc. zeljko -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus.freepascal.org http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
