If the problem is that the window turns white you can easily cover up certain parts with controls, change the background color of the window in the properties pane or paint the aqua pattern yourself in parts that are not covered by your window. If you were trying to duplicate Mail's interface you wouldn't have any problem since controls cover the entire window. > 2 - I can't select select multiple List-box rows in an RB List-box. Can you elaborate more on this? You are probably referring to something more complex than just changing the listbox's selection type. > 3 - REALbasic have no inbuilt Splitter. This is so easily done in RB anyways or with plenty of really good open source controls. > 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. I haven't found any problems with composite windows behaving in unexpected ways. Composite windows are different than normal windows in the way they refresh and draw themselves so you just have to do things differently. It doesn't necessarily mean there are bugs with Composite windows. I almost always use composite windows now. > 5 - The REALbasic Toolbar, have no "Customize Toolbar" > Thats just 5 examples.. > This can be done in RB with the HIToolbar at http://www.thezaz.com/ opensource/realbasic/macosx/toolbar/ and could probably be added to the existing RB toolbars.

I don't know what the problem is with that. I still do not see anything that can not be done all in RB code without any plugins and without any significant bugs caused by RB. -- Paul Levine Find Reliable Beta Testers http://www.trybeta.com/home/ _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe or switch delivery mode: <http://www.realsoftware.com/support/listmanager/> Search the archives: <http://support.realsoftware.com/listarchives/lists.html>
