No, no, no. In fact, these days, ALL of my compound widgets
are written as objects. The purpose of the FUNC_GET_VALUE
for these objects is to return the "self" object, which
I can then control by means of methods. This makes it
incredibly easy to manipulate the internal widgets of
a compound widget.

I've been meaning to write an example of this, but most
of my real programs are too complex for instructional
programs, and I haven't had the time to write a simple,
but meaningful, example. I promise to do it, but I really
can't say when. :-)

Cheers,

David
