I don't know if this is a crazy idea or what, so bear over with me, here goes... All right, I know Java, and I know the Win32 API. And although Swing and AWT are okay for my needs I've been thinking about doing some kind of GUI framework (just for the fun of it) in Java based on the Win 32 API. Is that at all possible, maybe by using JNI? (I've never used JNI so forgive my ignorance if I'm way off here ). As mentioned I'm not sure if this can be done at alle - if not, maybe by some other way? Thanks. -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+- Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent.

I''d have to say that the only real reason to do this would be for the challange. And since you said you''re doing it "just for the fun of it," it''s all good

Exactly It would be futile to do it if I was in need of something like that right now. Especially after I've looked at SWT. That's sweet

I've just always thought that it would be fun to do such a project. I'll see. Right now I'll just study SWT closer to check out how they designed it.
