Our snapins are very similar but in some ways - very different. I tried to keep the KIXBGI legacy by supporting lots of graphics and color. Then in build 6, I added support for the image and picturebox objects. So I would say mine was more of a graphics engine than yours... yours has much more support for the business-end of GUI development. Suppport for all the control types and even an image control and imho, you did an excellent job ... so lets just see where this takes us in the long term.

Maybe I'll evolve kixforms more along the lines of a graphics engine console for fun and razzle-dazzle. And maybe you can evolve kixwinvb along the business end ? Just a idea to differenciate the snapins.

Did you try the new-and-improved ADSI service browser for Windows 2000 ? ADSI.KIX ???
