Casting is automatic in Gambas. Just put your object reference in a variable 
whose type is the type you want to cast to.

OK. Let's go for: Button, Label, TextLabel, ComboBox, ListBox & Form.

I know, I must look at it.

Actually, you must do "recompile all", not just recompile. And then it does 
exactly what you did by hand: deleting .gambas and calling the compiler. :-)

OK. I will replace the TopOnly propery by a Stack property that will take 
three possible values: Window.Normal, Window.Top, Window.Bottom. Or something 
like that...

I will try to do that.

I will add them in the x11.c file of gb.qt, that you can use in gb.gtk if you 
like. It follows the freedesktop specifications.
