Abstract: Current standing and plans for the widget implementation for the DAD dialog rewrite. Long term all gtk and lesstif dialogs are to be rewritten as DAD dialogs in their corresponding plugins or in the dialogs plugin. For this, the DAD API and the backends in HIDs need to be upgraded to support all widgets that will be in use in the new dialogs.
