I had managed to overlook this, coz I never heard it actually mentioned. I went forum searching here for win32 and got no results, went googling for win32 site:cycling74.com and got no results. I searched for every possible variation on UI, windowing toolkit, embedding, ui extern, window handle, lcd, gl, etc. for posts about people discussing how to do UI design in Max/Msp. I think I spent a week reading some 300 forum threads after making a list of every string which might refer to this stuff, and never in one of them heard somebody really actually say anything about doing it. I even found 2 or 3 posts of people asking if you can, or how to do it, all which went unreplied-to.
..and then, seeing the widgets like jit.cellblock -- NOT being externs. (wtf???)

Now that I see it's possible in the SDK, I even try searching for QTML and get nothing both here or on google searching here.

It's odd. What's with that?

I also don't remember any actual GUI externs which were released anytime since the turn of the century.
Well, I do remember some old mac-only Elsea objects.
Does anybody know of one?
