I have two questions for the list:

1) I have created a refinement of bitmap class that has a popup recogniser associated with it. A side effect of the popup behavior is that the image on the bitmap is changed to reflect the popup selection. This works fine as long as I use it by itself in a dialog. But if I use it as a member of a menu (choice), then the images do not render properly. Any ideas? A test jig is attached.

2) The second question has to do with XPCE and it associated tool set (PCEDraw, dialog editor, etc.) --What is to become of it? It does not appear to be maintained very well. Both the Linux and Windows variants are pretty buggy these days and have been for some time. XPCE seems to work well enough (except as noted) as long as you hand-write your dialogs. But that's not the way these sorts of things are done these days. I spoke briefly with Jan about it. He believes that it needs a major "facelift", but has no resources to do it, and that it will be maintained at a "basic level" for the foreseeable future.

Regards,
Jeff R.
