As he told me they bought a ST implementation for Windows which had this 
00 lib for windows controls
which they translated into Delphi

Having said that the ST I used was slow, and noone has ever resolved the

Cheers I'll have a look, I'm pretty much deep in PHP now, Wrote my own 
Object Persistence Framework
(With Ajax as the comms between property editors and the server),  still 
a WIP and I made a fundemental
error in it, I should have started with my original intention which was 
"all properties are objects", but i wimped
and returned property references as data (strings), my excuse is that 
PHP5 was so new I missed the significance of the __toString
magic method

have a play with www.ejif.co.nz,  user experiance feedback appreciated
