Yes, I know your allegiances lie with owner drawn :-) But try to see beyond the obvious, the bit is that from what I saw they mumble over appstores and metro, but never admitting that they don't go together. (same as that they mumble about mobile without shipping either an own or FPC's arm compiler) Then you will also see that your Office counterexample is irrelevant, since app store rules don't apply to Office. (but they do to nearly everybody else). And then I'm even ignoring that the scale of something like Office is beyond what nearly everybody can manage, including investments in making owner drawn UIs very close. -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
