[Mono-winforms-list] running winforms examples

[Thomas Fritzsche]

Hi swf-hackers,

it is really great to see the progress you made (tested latest svn this 
weekend). Now it has become very easy to install and compile mono-swf 
from svs (e.g. the integration of cairo in libgdiplus makes it much 
simpler).  I tested it with this great collection of SWF examples: 
"svn://svn.myrealbox.com/source/trunk/winforms"

Most of the examples run fine here and only the complex controls are a 
little bit slow (yes... performence comes later).
I have a little bit trouble with the control-dock example: If I start 
the application I don't have the "Dock=Bottom" and "Dock=Button (2)". 
Only after resizing the window I get this dock's (it is the same with 
the label example).

The other issue I have is a NullReferenceException I receive with 
different examples (here: combobox, but also with others e.g. textbox, 
taborder):
