I have one other comment on this subject.
Why not just use a list view?
Even if ooDialog did have support for the Header control, there is really a
lot of work to manage the Header. The list view does all that work for you.
Another drawback is that if you did use a Header control with a list box,
the list box doesn't know about the header so the header would obscure some
rows in the list box. The solution to that is to make the list box owner
drawn.
Owner draw is something you can do in C / C++ code, but it is also a lot of
work. Being able to do it from ooDialog is problematic in my mind. And,
again, all the work is done for you in a list view.

Android is increasing in popularity, but the open development platform that
developers love is also attractive to malware creators. Download this white
