DOH! I apologize for answering my own post. I finally found the answer after looking for two days. Someone added help tag info to a list box, and their project showed me how to do what I wanted to do. Look at the Help Tags project at
http://www.boisseau.co.uk/code/ Basically, I created a new class on the project pane called NListBox (for "New" list box). I set its super to be ListBox. I then went back to the ListBoxObj(0) on my window and set its super to be the NListbox, changing it from ListBox. After that I added a property to the NListBox, and clicked on the Global symbol for the property. It is amazing that even after reading the documentation, I did not get that I could do that to a built in class that could show up on a form. I think my hangup was the fact you cannot do a "lb = new ListBox" and have the listbox appear on the current window (you have to do a new of a NamedListBox(0) listbox which is subclassed from listbox. That you can clone. do a search on cloning controls in the realbasic list archives). I *assumed* that meant that you could not extend other classes and have them show up in the window. New tricks every day. thanks, Wade _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe or switch delivery mode: <http://www.realsoftware.com/support/listmanager/> Search the archives: <http://support.realsoftware.com/listarchives/lists.html>
