Comments and Discusions about Wishes
Artur Trzewik 06.09.2004 ad 3 - This functionality is availabe from Classview (Create Instance) ad 4 - I thougt registry were better way for windows (more chic). Perhaps import and export function for preferences. ad 14 - Metakit is no SQL database. Addapting XOTclIDE for it were quite hard. Anyway metakit offer bad multiuser support. ad 12 - planned in next release. ad 15 - I thougt about adapting vtcl as Plug-In for it. But the main problem is not to build tk gui but offer OO Gui framework. Good were something like swing or .NET window forms widget set, which have also design time support.
