now that sounds cool... sort of a widget system specific for audio
control gui's.
wow... a sort of widget system for audio gui's....
http://phat.berlios.de http://khagan.berlios.de The "renders panels from
stylesheets" is what I am referring to. Phat is
has very nice widgets, but AFAIK it stops before the container level.
That's where the widget 'system' comes in: a system that manages widgets
such that you don't have to care about that. Just write a UI description
and have the system generate the UI for you (at run time).
That would allow to concentrate on the coding and have someone else
figure out the best UI layout. Or have people customize their layout.

I kinda thought that's what khagan does. Allows users to build there
own UI or let a layout designer build it. Thus why i gave both links.
