Re: Delphi and .NET GUI

MSFT made a GUI API, partly on top of the native windowing API,
partly on top of GDI+. Then, they designed the connection points
between .Net and those native APIs in a way, that some of them would
not have security side effects, while others could not guarantee that
(like custom messaging).

But if one wanted, one could write a similar widget system (say, like
the VCL) doing the same, I assume?
