Hi, I think that this is a relly good idea, maybe we can start from the modified Win32::GUI documentation bundled with The Gui Loft (http://www.bahnhof.se/~johanl/perl/Loft/), to insert the various (up-to-now) "undocumented" features that sometimes we found in this mailing list.
The first thing we can do is to post messages as FAQ items (using "FAQ - short description of item" as subject) to begin collecting articles about Win32::GUI. I think that Aldo would found useful to collect these articles and include them in the documentation. Bye. Luigino Masarati OutSys snc PS: I'm glad you have appreciated my little work about Animated/Layered Windows.
