Maybe by some other method ?

I have the code here. I'll try this to commit tonight (If I get it compiled)

>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.

Some GTK specific things were stripped from that. I'm working on that.

to do this? otherwise I'll look at it this weekend.
