Frankly, I came from VB and MS products so, I have whats called the "battered woman syndrome". We have to develop components to get around limitations. Hooking, subclassing and so on have been common to get what we needed and then when MS dropped VB Classic it was a nightmare.
Since some of our apps push the envelop when it comes to hardware, graphics and video equipment, I can say that we had no choice as the standar controls that came with the Pro tools(MS and Borland) only come with a set of tools that are meant for simple UI, but the moment you want to break away from the standard UI, you have to code it yourself. On the PC, I have been used to be able to get what I want from the OS by declares so for me to see RB have certain limitations is no big issue. If it doesnt do it, force it. Make it your own. I do see your points and agree mostly, except at specting RS to give everything we want. Is there a feature request for the listbox so that I can sign it? E.
