Can you not just us an ordinary list / Combo Box and manually copy the required
strings across - let the VCL do the drawing stuff
(i.e. dump the current contents copy a new 10 in and call refresh - can't
remember if refresh or similar is req'd)

     Yeah, a TList laps it up and begs for more :-) But I was trying to avoid
     manually writing copious manual drawing/scrolling routines.

     Thus far the TListView OwnerData looks like the way to go (Didn't get a
     chance to try it last night)
