I know in Delphi one uses owner-drawn list to draw their own items (in fact I had suggested Delphi Object Inspector do that many years ago at Delphi newsgroups, when we had plain text dropdown lists even for color names), but what is used in Lazarus? Is it the same scheme or something that is maybe more crossplatform?
