Hi Yves, i think flext should definitely provide a possibility for creating GUI objects. I have not yet made a lengthy research on that issue but as Framestein seems to be able to steal a portion of a canvas for DirectX (and i'm sure that the same is possible in MaxMSP), why not give it a try and develop a portable interface for GUI stuff? It seems to me that wxWindows is the best choice for such a thing as it supports Windows, Linux and MacOS and provides a lot of features. Additionally it can also be steered from Python. Would anyone comment on that or recommend other libraries?
I consider the planned multithreading ability of flext a prerequisite for that, so that the GUI generating code be separated from any DSP and message processing code.
greetings, Thomas

i would have liked to use flext for this but there doesn't seem to be any graphic capabilities provided for now. Q : is it planned to have this one day ??
