Yes and no :)

Our AWT (the toolkit for windows/controls/dialogs) is being ...
resurrected currently. That is, we know that extensions are an important
mean to increase OOo's popularity, and for extensions you often need UI
- which implies you need a capable UI toolkit - AWT.

Now "highly capable" is  not the first word springing to one's mind when
talking about our existing toolkit, that's why we need to improve on this.

There has been done a "gap analysis" recently, by Carsten Driesner from
the framework team. The results are still to be published (in [EMAIL PROTECTED],
IIRC, there was also the call for participation), AFAIK. But one result
- surprise! - has been a missing table control (only beaten by a missing
tree control). Chances are good something will happen there in a
not-too-distant :) future ...

As things happen, one name having been mentioned for the generic table
control is mine :), so it might in fact be that I will embark on this.
If not (which means I would not have to use my precious database-time),
then somebody else will.

IoW: There's movement. Stay tuned :)

Ciao
Frank
