By userbase MINIGUI (various distribution) without a real linux version (3 years old) HWGUI have oop and with an incomplete but more active gtk version Either use win32api on win32 and gtk on linux

There is an open source framework for web and gui is Visual WebGui that was designed to be the next VB6 for the web. Simple to program, simple to deploy. With a full WinForms API and design , compatible with mono but also silverlight Visual WebGui multi-layer, multi-language architecture that allow develop for desktop and web with productivity Visual webgui have a different approach to web application development, specially designed to simplify building highly complex applications like Outlook Web Access (OWA). Visual WebGui makes it possible for developers to create applications that were previously developed only by the "big guys" http://www.visualwebgui.com/Learn/WhatsVisualWebGui/tabid/370/Default.as px if harbour will create a extensibiled GT for visual webgui (GTVWG) it can be a very good move for me this is a real dream _______________________________________________ Harbour mailing list Harbour@harbour-project.org http://lists.harbour-project.org/mailman/listinfo/harbour
