Hi 
I downloaded the NSBasic trial. It looks nice & easy to use and
although I usually work in C, I was thinking of using it for quick
prototyping.

However I have not found any table-like control. Listbox, yes, but no
table. Did I miss something?

I would like to create a view of a database that has many (10000)
records without having to load them all (like we do in C with a
table). 

A listbox requires you to call the add method for all the records even
though you will only be displaying about 10 at a time. 

With a table, you can access the 10 records you're going to display,
and you're ready to display so it's faster and requires less memory

I would also like to do custom draw on the viewed items, allowing the
app to format the displayed text, create fake columns, etc

Can that be done with NSBasic?

Thanks
Olivier Lancelot
