You missed my point for code as 'AS ListBox' versus 'AS Apple.ListBox'
You mentioned as a example the vendor identification i.e. 'Apple' for gb-apple-x.y.z
Why should Apple not make a component apple.x.y.z usable inside gb?
Oooh and shame for me for see the gb-apple.x.y.z as apple.x.y.z. here :-(

If they share the same name for the same basic function versus name it looks true.
The implementation and handeling of the Methods/Events/Properties can be
total different but only the name i.e. ListBox with the visual presentation
and end results are the same. In this case there is no extent of the other one.

What is the difference between 'msctl32.ListBox' 'Apple.ListBox' and 'gb.qt.listbox'?
The implementaion only, all show and present the same content.
My point was the 'msctrl32', 'gb.apple' and 'gb.qt' are equivalent to the namespace
for the listbox, in simple view and words.
I do not mean the OS and/or language of the Listbox or library is written with.

Still fan of gambas guru Benoit :-)
