It's quite feasible. I've done such a tool. I have my own controls class drawn in a canvas. The're not Realbasic controls. I've implemented the usuals statictext, editfield, pushbutton, pagepanel, my own version of listbox with expandable editable cell linked with my own SQL cursor with automatic updating, etc The reason why? Many reasons, but there's two : They have the behavior I want for each of them and they are the same on each platform. The control also have costemic look on each platform...
