The Interface Kit provides an easy mechanism to adding and using additional System controls that are otherwise unavailable within REALBasic. The Interface Kit cross-matches controls across Macintosh & Windows, adding convenience in providing similar experiences while maintain platform consistency. Most controls are system drawn, using the very latest code for maximum speed and compatibility. The Macintosh version uses Core Graphics at its heart for drawing these controls.
