1 - The Unified Toolbar, you know the issues with that. 2 - I can't select select multiple List-box rows in an RB List-box. 3 - REALbasic have no inbuilt Splitter. 4 - The "Mail-boxes" List-box to the left, In RB you must use Composite window, and then we know about all the random features. 5 - The REALbasic Toolbar, have no "Customize Toolbar" Thats just 5 examples.. > > In RB it is actually very easy to duplicate Mail's interface, that is > why I am asking for "specific things" so I can provide you with a > solution. > > Why can't you use other people code in your application?

Ok that is possible to write self, and it is with all other code. > > -- > Paul Levine > Find Reliable Beta Testers For Your Software > http://www.trybeta.com/home/ > > -------------- Sven E _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe or switch delivery mode: <http://www.realsoftware.com/support/listmanager/> Search the archives: <http://support.realsoftware.com/listarchives/lists.html>
