The capability to contain other controls would be highly desireable, specially if you want to make some advanced used interface. IIRC in VBA there are several controls that are also control-containers, for example the ImageControl or the tabbed-control and others. Another missing capability would be to overlay controls. Currently this is possible but with unpredictable results. Anyway this is another story. Back to nested controlcontainers, as said from Ariel, you can nest containers even today, but the technique used, athough it works fine, it looks a bit hacky and AFAIK it's not documented (at least not for the use with UNODialogs ) My presentation at ooocon2007 was about this stuff (among other things) Actually the user interface of the BasicAddonBuilder extension is built in that way. ciao Paolo M. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
