Sorry for holding you back from work with my stupid posts. While I wholeheartedly agree with you that a GUI library needs to be designed with large workloads in mind and thereby optimized for speed (using the various techniques described in your posts), wouldn't the exposed interface still be OO-ish?

>>6, I never meant coding an entire GUI library using OOP constructs, God forbid -- I was only referring to the interface exposed to the application. Sorry for not being more specific.
Talking with you about this has helped me settle a few things in my mind, and I thank you for that.
