- I guess I wasn't entirely clear. In evolutionary terms, one
- don't want to abandon BP. Hopefully, TV and OWL will
- evolve. (I know there are a lot out there who don't like
- evolution, or consider it important.) TV1 is missing
-
- o multiple pick listboxes
- o comboboxes in all the flavors available in Windows
- o common interface descendents of comboboxes, such as
- drive, filetype, etc. found in windows (do we have to
- write *everything*?)
-
- and other objects that don't come to mind at the moment.
-
- Some of us have written our own but in order to make life a
- bit easier for everyone, and to enhance the appeal of
- the two libraries, TV and OWL should evolve.
-
- That's what OOP is all about -- ancestry and inheritance =
- evolution (have to through in differential reproductivity
- in there somehow: what's the fitness term in this?).
