RB's listbox is done the wrong way also. It should be using some kind of datasource, like Apple do it. In fact it should be done entirely like Apple do it ;) maybe a bit simpler here and there but the same structuring, because Apple's approach really works.


Please no! I hate databases. If listboxes were always taking their sources from datasources, I'd certainly rewrite my own listbox using canvases! Databases are certainly not required to make a really good and complete application! _______________________________________________


Right, but I think the thought here is to, in effect, decouple the List() from the ListBox as with VisualBasic and XCode. The Rb ListBox is somewhat constrained by the requirement to both store and display content. I believe that KemTekinay offers a custom class which provides this capability in Rb.

Best,
