Re: Re[4]: [paragui-users] script language for Paragui

[atani]

The same functionality of "user controls" can be done via the same 
method in which a "PG_*" class object is parsed.  A user would tell the 
RAD tool that they have a header file which defines a widget and the 
tool would parse that header and generate controls for that header.  
This can be done in any language.

I am still interested in more info on the usage of Python embeded 
within a C/C++ program however.  I have not heard of this and it sounds 
interesting.  However, for this project I still think picking the 
native language of the GUI is best for the RAD tool.
