Well, I know of a simplistic form/dialog interface library that is used in GRASS (sure there are better examples around). It's fairly small and pretty well commented. It's not exactly event driven with callbacks and such (either the user "submits" or "cancels" the whole page). It might give you some ideas (even things not to do ;) But it works okay, and is easy to program with. http://freegis.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/grass/src/libes/vask/ -- Eric G.
