What I would fear is that Microsoft will now try to patent the "Gadget" much as it did the "IsNot" operator.

I think widgets is already taken by the former wxWindows now called wxWidgets due to Microsoft.

hehe. They can have wxWidgets, provided they pay me a royalty as it contains my soon to be patented, copyrighted and trademarked widget in the name.
And if they don't, I'll find another name.
What about "Fred"
Edit: Found and corrected a bug ... no, really.

What about "Fred"
Code: Select all
CreateFredList()
TextFred(0,0,0,100,20,"RELEASE PUREBASIC V4.00 NOW")
StringFred(1,0,20,100,20,"The gadget name is the threat!")
ButtonFred(2,10,40,50,20,"DO IT")

@}--`--,-- A rose by any other name ..
