In that case you should find a GUI framework for which there already exist ready-to-use bindings. If I ever looked into Gtk sources then only for finding Gtk bugs. It would be a horror scenario if looking into the sources were required for daily GUI developing. Gtk is far from perfect but at least this torture you are spared from. I am sure that the same could be said about any other popular GUI framework. -- Regards, Dmitry A. Kazakov http://www.dmitry-kazakov.de
