JP> I agree with you for the UICLUG - it's a nice book.

It's nice, but incomplete.  For example, there is nothing in the book about
designing new control classes to behave like the ICLUI provided classes. 
Nor does the book explain why the sizeTo() and resize events are not called
when a frame window adjusts it children at creation time.  I've had
problems with this as I end up having to write extra code to calculate the
size of windows for custom control classes outside of the class itself. 
This isn't necessary for the ICLUI classes (IPushButton, IListBox, etc.) so
there must be a way to handle this behavior more cleanly, but I haven't
been able to come up with one yet.

 JP> Moreover, there is no reason to complain since it *IS* included in the C

I bought the CD-ROM version and got the book.  The CD-ROM version is
available in a packaging that includes the same books as the floppy
version.  It costs a bit more this way, however.
