well, word "forbidden" is not right in this sense, I meant "to make it
harder as much as possible".

Probably due to very limit time which I currently have for wxGUI
development I was inclining to the quick, but probably good solution.
I will investigate more as I will have some time for that.

Thanks for clarification, Martin
