Get out of here! IMHO the reason some people consider VCL.NET somewhat of a
"hack" involves the same thought process as when my wife sprinkles some
fresh bread crumbs over it and reheats yesterday's cassorole. It always
tastes better the second time around but I still grumble which pisses her
off and lands me in the dawg house.<g>

Naw no way, everyone with a pin prick knowledge of WinForms knows that most
of the controls are based on the same core controls that MS had been using
for years. As for MS not providing source, have you ever looked at the Rotor
code?

People are diabolically clever and act in certain ways which are
predictable. Learn to take criticism gracefully and get over this idea that
you gotta react each and every time some jerk mouths off. Don't you realize
some people even bait you guys just to watch certain TeamB members get their
dander up.
