Yes, that is what I intended.  They shouldn't be part of the base 
library, so as to keep it small and simple (well as simple as gui's can 
get).

I would like to see, as I think win32gui supports, the ability to use 
controls from multiple threads.  e.g. set the enabled state/text of a 
button from any thread.  I've currently written my own set of wrappers 
around Borland's VCL library to enable this, but the VCL is a large 
library and isn't C++, although it does integrate better with C++ than 
.Net IMHO.

Thanks
