The make the whole process "cross-platform" for the users of fpGUI, you have to abstract all drawing and painting calls to abstract classes. Override/Implement them for specific platforms. Then place a platform neutral interface over those. Plus you need to handle OS events, the event loop and application events in a cross-platform way.... Now the developer can use the platform neutral classes to design there applications and not worry about the platforms specific backend. A huge task which I have been busy with for the last 1.5 years in fpGUI. It's simply easier to use one of the existing cross-platform solutions. The ones I know of that are implemented in Free Pascal are: fpGUI, MSEgui and Lazarus. Or if you are not happy with any of those and you are up to the challenge and you have A LOT of spare time, then start implemented you own cross-platform GUI toolkit. :-) Good luck!
