OK. I've been thinking about this conceptual page and I'd like everyone's input.

What would help you all out the most.

1) A description of each message (ex. LM_SETTEXT, LM_SETSIZE, LM_GETLABEL, etc.) and how's it's supposed to be used to set the properties of the controls.

2) An outline of the methods and functions that we believe are needed for the IDE, OBject Inspector, Forms Editor, etc.

3) An even broader explanation of the entire LCL. How it works with GTK, QT, WIN32 and an over view of things like the Interfaces.pp file, CM_SendMessage function, the interfaces directory wqhich includes files specific to widget tool sets, etc.

4) Other ideas.

I would like to find a point where you guys see the most need and the most value.

Thanks
Shane

So, knowing that a conceptual web page is desired, are there any volunteers? I can do it but don't have the time right now. If someone would like to volunteer, I certainly could give them an over view of the SENDMESSAGE concept, and an explanation of the LM_???? messages as a start.

Thoughts?

I think #3 would be good, because it will clear up misconceptions from the start. The fewer mistakes I have to unlearn the better. Then #2 and #1 which are basically the same thing.
