What does it refer MDI as? No, it does not :-(. There's a (heated) debate as to whether MDI's are a step forwards or backwards in Windows applications. : 2) What if I just want to populate a list box that does not have : table or superview to be associated with? Sure, no problem. Paint your list box or create it with NEW. Then insert elements (lines) as desired: myLB.insert( new ixString("Red") ) myLB.insert( new ixString("White") ) myLB.insert( new ixString("Blue") ) : 3) Is that an attribute/event that works like most MS-apps : [W]indos->[T]ile/[C]ascade etc? Unfortunately, you need to write your own :-). I haven't done it myself, but it should be pretty easy to do. Keep track of open Windows and Size and Anchor as required. : Do you really think of NewEra as true OOP/D tool? Yes, I do. It does have pretty much everything an OOPL should include. It would be nice to have function/handler reference pointers and multiple-inheritance (another debate).
