EDIT, TAB, TABPAGE, PANEL (no yet), BROWSE, LABEL and DIALOG.

does it mean we can use Fivewin LIBs under MiniGUI

Dear Jimmy,

No, it isn't.
It means that there is an universal wrapper for HWGUI, HMGE, OOHG, GTWVG and HMG3 with just a few controls.

BTW We've already used FiveWin code in MiniGUI in the excellent free TSBrowse library (i.e. CLASS TSBrowse FROM TControl).
