I was trying to program a simple pushbutton in a normal view in a
normal window using MacApp.  I put the CNTL resourse in the resourse
file, and it comes up once.  If the window is updated for any reason,
the button goes away.  Also my .DoTrackControl method of my view never
gets called.  I did all of the control stuff as mentioned in IM 1, but
nothing happens.  After almost 3 days I gave up and created my own button
class which fakes it (draws it on the screen, and uses a TCommand subtype
to make the button act like a normal button.  While this does work, it just
doesn't seem like the thing to do.

Has anybody out there ever got controls to work in a standard window using
MacApp?
