ActiveX and RR

[K]

Oh, something important I forgot!  The Runtime Revolution "Stacks"/"Windows" must be a ActiveX container or provide a interface to be subclassed.  Otherwise ActiveX components (with graphics footprint) would not be viable. The RAD would also need to consider design time properties (a enormous job for just 1 platform). A IDL and APIHOOK declaration system would serve all platforms and allow the community to develope this without (platform specific) XCMD development.
