That's good to hear. It's been a year or so since I used it last and WF had some painting bugs that made it close to unusable at the time -- menu bars wouldn't paint at all, text areas would flicker or disappear, resizing made EVERYTHING fall to pieces... It's actually why I joined mono-winforms-list; I was looking for help. I'm glad to hear that it's doing better and I may need to brush out my old app and see if it's working better with a fresh install. /s/ Adam _______________________________________________ Mono-winforms-list maillist - [email protected] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-winforms-list
