[Mono-winforms-list] another forms problem

[Martin Otten]

Thank you very much for your answer. This seems to be a bit harder than 
i thought.

Well I think I will try an other gui-lib for c# for my development.

If I can do anything to help developing the Forms Assembly I would be 
glad to help.

What about a native implementation of Windows-Forms for Mac Os. I don't 
think that mac-users  whant to install all the gnome packages if they 
want to run a .net application.

If you don't think that there is any need for work to do, i may help 
testing the current forms implementation... ;-)
