I agree with Tobi, I find that the gb.qt4 component works best overall on all desktops, compared to the gtk ones (even though I run a gtk based desktop). I never use gb.gui and have only 1 project using gb.gtk. Besides that, the gb.qt4 project has the .ext and webkit that lack in gb.gtk. I also advice newbees getting in trouble with gb.gui to use gb.qt4 and they seem satisfied with that. I would love to use templates as I can see good use for them, but I would like to have the freedom to select the GUI component I prefer. gbWilly ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Gambas-user mailing list Gambas-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gambas-user
