[Baeseman, Cliff]

Yes we do need the event thing solidified so that I can move on.

FComponent has been removed and replaced with TWInControl.Handle.  There are
a few issues:

1)  Currently I defined the property Handle with a read AND a write method
(the write method simply writes to FHandle).  In Windows, you didn't want to
write to FHandle because the user should never modify it.  However, in order
to be able to assign FHAndle the component in gtkinterface.pp, you need to
write to HANDLE because you can't access the private property (FHAndle) from
within gtkinterface.pp

2)  HandleAllocated should be implemented and used.  If a handle is not
implemented, then CreateComponent should be called in HandleNeeded.
Currently, I check to see if Handle = 0.

3)  HANDLE is a TWinCotrol property, NOT a TCONTROL property so in
gtkinterface.inc I had to typecast things as a TWinControl instead of
TControl's.  Not a big deal but that's why it's different.

I think that's it for now.

I added a default HINT or TOOLTIP to each widget upon creation.  I used
gtk_object_set_data to assign it to the widget so we can pull it out of it
with a gtk_object_get_data('Tooltip');

The Menu's aren't appearing, but that's been that way before I did the
fcomponent thing.  Not sure what the issue is there yet.

Anyone doing anything else of interest?  I'll be working on events now I
think.

Shane
