4D uses Cocoa for the UI...meaning all (or at least most) of the objects
in the 4D palette behave like their native counterparts.  Plus you'd get
the benefit of an app that can run on Mac OS and Windows out of the box.

The reason I'm asking this is one of the huge advantages of 4D is the
integration with the database engine and the 4GL take on development.
You can generally build something much faster (and therefore cheaper) in
4D than you can by separating the front-end.  If you *haven't* looked
into it I recommend that you do.  But I can certainly understand that
there are situations were partitioning the app is required as well.

Kind regards,

Josh Fletcher
