Jochen,

Do we have to Create those as additional objects
or are they accessed by Kixtart.form anyway ?

Good question. In the case of the Common Dialogs,
haven't really decided yet ... but lets talk
about the Graphics classes first. They will be
accessed through Kixtart.Form something like
this (for example, to create a bitmap):

code:

$Bitmap = $Form.Graphics.Bitmap(".\kixtart.bmp")
 
?"Bitmap Width=" $Bitmap.Width
 
?"Bitmap Height=" $Bitmap.Height

Then, lets say you wanted to draw the bitmap
somewhere on a form, like this:

code:

$Form.Graphics.DrawImage($Bitmap,10,10)

All graphics objects would be accessed and
manipulated through the Graphics property of any
class that supported graphics (right now, only a
handfull).

The Common Dialogs are a different story. Two
options here. One is to instantiate the dialogs
seperately using CreateObject like this:

code:

$Dialogs = CreateObject("Kixtart.Dialogs")
 
$OpenFileDialog = $Dialogs.OpenFileDialog
 
$OpenFileDialog.ShowDialog()

or, the other way is to instantiate through a
property called Dialogs in all Kixtart.Form
classes like this:

code:

$OpenFileDialog = $Form.Dialogs.OpenFileDialog()
 
$OpenFileDialog.ShowDialog()

Any thoughts on the best approach here ?

Jooel, yeah - think you might have been on
vacation when we discussed bypassing regsvr32 to
register Kixforms, and just use registry pokes.
And - when a new build of Kixforms is released -
simply copy over the existing DLL and not re
-register the component. This is an OK thing to
do, as long as none of the underlying COM
classes have been changed. Which WILL be the
case when these two new major classes are
released. Once its re-registered, then one can
go back to simply copying over the DLL. But
Les's point about bypassing regsvr32 is valid.
