IMO, you misunderstood me. In 99% cases <<= is OK. Admitedly, in 99% cases of these cases, "<<" is OK as well Smile

For standard apps, '<<=' I'm positive works fine, I just think some problem may arise with general purpose widgets, or 'components'. These should be extensible by nature, and '<<=' doesn't favour extensibility. Having a dynamical feature like callbacks mechanism and preventing to fully exploit it seems like a waste, especially talking about open source software, where you primary rely on re-using classes written by others. If I'd want to write plugin-expandable software (which is quite diffuse nowadays), I think I'd like more '<<' around...

OK, so IMO the real result is: Search and replace <<= with << in CtrlCore and CtrlLib, right?
