Thanks to both of you for your suggestions. I will keep them in
mind. No, there is not yet a wxWindows control that I know of that
permits a button like you are suggesting. Partly because I do not
think that GTK has such a widget yet.
However, I do have a method that does almost exactly what you are
looking for and more. It is similiar to the way that Visual Source
Safe handles retreiving old copies from a repository. I will be
posting a full TODO list on the RapidSVN project page in the next few
days that will describe this. At that point we can discuss those
specs.
Cheers,
Brent
