Where each cell looks like the top edge of a manila folder, with the listbox text drawn on the "tab'? The technical details I have covered (CELLBACKGROUNDPAINT etc)..... its the best way to do the graphics that I'm struggling with I have a direction I'm going to persue... but was hoping someone might already have done it and would be willing to share _________________ Dave Sisemore MacPro, OSX Lion 10.7.4 RB2012r1 Note : I am not interested in any solutions that involve custom Plug-ins of any kind Top DaveS Post subject: Re: Has anyone created a listbox that looks like filefoldersPosted: Tue Oct 09, 2012 9:25 pm Joined: Sun Aug 05, 2007 10:46 am Posts: 4169 Location: San Diego, CA For those interested.... here is what I've come up with so far. and YES that is a standard listbox..... with special coding in the CELLBACKGROUNDPAINT and CELLTEXTPAINT events and ideas, suggestions or comments to make it look better would be appreciated... _________________ Dave Sisemore MacPro, OSX Lion 10.7.4 RB2012r1 Note : I am not interested in any solutions that involve custom Plug-ins of any kind Top doofus Post subject: Re: Has anyone created a listbox that looks like filefoldersPosted: Wed Oct 10, 2012 6:40 am Joined: Thu Sep 10, 2009 2:50 am Posts: 285 Location: Santa Cruz, CA, USA DaveS wrote:and ideas, suggestions or comments to make it look better would be appreciated... :)Looks pretty good to me, what more do you need? Maybe shadows if you want to overkill. I have a listbox for highlighting hierarchy groups. There's 3 boundary types (round, rect and battlestar galactica) hard coded in with some options for sizing. I think there's an option for custom drawing where the cell paint events get extra data about overlaps and indents, but maybe that's used up with the 3 hard coded ones, I forget,it's been awhile. It's sorta similar to your folders but I don't know if it applies.

Dave - you might want to have an option where the selected filefolder isn't rounded on the right so you could put it next to a canvas with the same background color that would display the contents of said filefolder. Does that make sense? It would end up behaving a bit more like a tabpanel, I suppose. Obviously you'd probably want to reverse the highlight and non-highlight colors for that case, so the highlighted folder is the lighter and the rest are dark.
