That is correct. This is the one major limitation of the Qt frontend at the moment. The fault, if fault is to be aportioned, lies within Qt itself I understand. Perhaps more fairly, they do not deal with many projects such as ours which do not use their classes in the core of the program and so have not had to develop the flexible interface to their library that we require in this instance. I also understand that they are now aware of our problem and are addressing it. In the meantime, what you have got has taken an enormous amount of creative 'hacking' by John Levon to get it into the state it is now. Personally. I think that the man deserves a medal for his efforts ;-) If you require the flexibility you describe, then you are stuck with the xforms frontend for a little while longer. HTH, -- Angus
