Hello Fred. So. Now I got something. The "msefiledialogx", of course. A version that DOES, mostly, what I want it to do. That is: - Multiple entry select for "listview" AND "list_log" display - "seamless" switching between displays (i.e. selections are kept) - mostly "standard" selection methods

Hello Fred, this time not an update on the "msefiledialogx", but on the "db" unit modifications. As I just had an occasion to use the OSQLBrowser, I was again hit by an update problem I had found before (and addressed by a cautionary remark in the README to the sample programs). So I undertook to

Hello Fred, here's another intermediate report on the status of the "newdialogs"' msefiledialogx. It was a hard bit of work to make the "compact" diaplay work the same as with the plain original version. You made it work i a "horizontal" manner, which is very unusual and doesn't easily allow for

Hello Sieghard. Ha, ok, I think I get it now. In the code of msefiledialogx.pas there are those ifdef: {$ifdef BGRABITMAP_USE_MSEGUI} It is because the msefiledialogx shows the rendered image on the bottom-left if you select a image-file in a directory. If you did not use BGRABimap on your

Hello Sieghard. Strange that it does not work for you. But, did you add the -B (build all) parameter? Without it fpc sometimes ignore some of the {$ifdef something}. It is a very old bug and till now it was not yet fixed, so better to use -B, mainly for the first compilation of the project.
