Hello, Ed! You'll have noticed that I haven't got involved with the Qt stuff at all. There's a reason for that and I'll let you into the secret: I'm really not that interested in GUIs. I am interested in learning how to write good code and the frontend stuff has been a good place to start. I think that the current state of the code reflects my learning curve pretty well. In the process, I think I've made the life of people who are interested in GUIs a /lot/ easier, but I'm not going to go on and write essentially the same code with another toolkit. Indeed, I plan eventually to unscramble the xforms frontend code by implementing the C++ widget wrappers that I brought to the list's attention a few months ago. Elegant, understandable code is what I'm interested in. For the here and now, I'll happily attempt controller/view splits of the remaining dialogs, but you'll have noticed that there is a considerable effort involved. Perhaps you can help me here, as you are the one who created ControlDocument. Is it finished, or is it, as well as the Qt frontend, lacking stuff for the Bullets? Regards, Angus
