Well I might have a go at writing one myself then.  Another feature that would be awesome is support for custom properties.  Java's Swing supports this.  Basically just have a string->object map in ifsoGUI_Base so that every component will inherit it.

Field customProperties:TMap = New TMap
Method SetProperty(key$,value:Object) customProperties.Insert(key,value) EndMethod
Method GetProperty:Object(key$) Return customProperties.ValueForKey(key) EndMethod

Easy.

Is this any different than just subclassing (extending) the gadget?  What would you use it for?

It would be a handy way of tagging an existing gadget without having to extend it.  It would be nice to be able to set a common property on multiple gadgets without having to extend each one.

OK, it is a simple enough thing to add.

I like the idea of the docs being on a website like that, because then it can become a living document.

In that case, maybe you should set up a wiki, but limit editing to ifsogui users.

I think a wiki is next.  I am so behind on updating the limited docs on the ifogui.com website, it is pathetic really.  At least the docs in the mod folder are up to date.  

Anybody have an opinion on which wiki is best?  I would like a wiki software package I can put on my own server I think.  I wonder if there is one I can setup on my server, that integrates security from SMF so I do not have to manage user rights on it separately?

UPDATE:  It looks like MediaWiki has a mod that allows it to read permissions from the SMF user database.  So, I will try to get it setup on the server.  I haven't ever really used a wiki before, so this will be a learning process for me.
