[Daniel Campos]

OK, Brandom, good job! I hope you'll publish a tutorial soon about this...

As I said in aprevious message, I made a program in VB that used a 
foreign window, however I have got not the sources as I was not allowed 
to copy them in my old company. But it is possible to emulate that 
function in Win$.
However... what key word should I use to disable this in the Win$ 
compilation? ( #ifndef CYGWIN or #ifndef WINDOWS...?)

Yes, of course I accept patches, but as I said in the previous point I 
just need to know the macro that I need to
disable it in the Win version (or to include the Systray code for 
windows). However, note that I do not accept the
"crap" adjective for that code, it is freedesktop compliant.

Talking properly, watching file descriptors in Windows is not possible, 
it is just an API emulation that Win$ people added to their API because 
they realized it was important after they released the first version 
:-)) Well, the GTK+ component uses the MAIN hook, so I have to watch the 
file descriptors myself, Gambas can not do it, look at the QT component, 
it has the same "problem". However, I'm using the same stuff that Benoît 
uses in the gambas watch code to watch the file descriptors, so I do not 
understand why the gambas watching code works and not the code included 
in the gb.gtk component. The DNS async code can not work if you remove 
the watching code, sockets can not work, too...

Mmmhh... another #ifdef that I should include.

? I don't know yet, I have to investigate it.

I have to write the code for CCONTAINER_width, height and setCancel(), 
this is normal

Linux compiler allows to compile it, and then, if the function is 
called, the program stops with an error (undefined symbol...) What are 
these two functions?
