Hi Fons, sorry if I hurt your feelings. Let me know when you are in Amsterdam next time. I will offer you a dinner as my apology. Anyway from you previous mails it sounded like we agreed and you promised to do Qt/ROOT keyboard interrupts/timers/etc. if I provide ROOT with Qt dialogs in return. Comments to win GUI development: 1. Let's talk about it when win GUI is done. 2. Even if it is done it will never stand competition with Qt or other professional libs.
