I agree with Ken on this. I would like to see support for calling Win APIs, DLLs and ActiveX. Even though one of the major features of Rev is the ability to develop for multiple platforms there are jobs where catering to a specific platform is required.
Trevor,
Unlike most of us on this list, you are already an accomplished C programmer. In fact, you have successfully written a couple VERY NICE externals for RR!
Now, I wonder, how many others on this list would take the time to learn the correct C interfaces to the WinAPI (I'm sure Ken would!). As feature requests are made, the RR team has to factor how many users would benefit from them.
Also, as you recall at the Rev Summit in CA, Chris Bohnert demonstrated how easy it is to create an external for RR. One which can call a Win32API if needed. So, it seems to me, an interim step would be a really good primer for creating externals for RR. 'Cause even with a WinAPI interface embedded in the language, users will still need to learn a lot to be able to use it.
best,
