As I noted in my other thread about scrollbars from yesterday, I've written several other chapters about designing GUI components. The scrollbar tutorial was also rewritten to flow inline with the other chapters. I've decided on which components to write about and ordered them in what I feel to be the best order for learning them, as each chapter will usually require knowledge of the previous concepts. A comprehensive tutorial I suppose, with most chapters roughly around 2 pages long. Here's a list of the chapters:

- Buttons
- Tabbed Panes
- Resizable Windows
- Sliders
- Scroll Panes / Scroll bars
- List selection
- Menu Bar
- Text Boxes


All but the last two are completed and include snippets for each chapter along with a basic template file used in the tutorials. I've attached the zip file.

Eminent, which example is saying that? Is the mouseWithin function present in that part of code? Which windows are you using?
