And very limited in ways one would EXPECT one to work... What I was hoping for was to be able to put controls in one and THEN subclass it in similar ways I could a built in control...(I would not expect to be able to add additional controls to subclasses- after all I can't add more UI elements to say listbox) To be able to do something like a listbox with using scrollbars, placards and and editfield say and then be able to subclass it in the ways one can the listboxes class was what I was expecting and hoping for. Or do something like a combobox using part of other controls... Being able to make real flexible, reusable subclassable UI controls with a UI already in place like the built in ones made from different types of UI elements is what I wanted. That would be heck of a lot easier than trying to make one from a canvas .. particularly one that looks and acts right in liitke ways Xplatform! To me a container container control I subclass is still more like window with many of the limitation of RB windows than it is like complex RB framework multicompoment RectControls Not sure if I'm being clear... I hope so. But I was VERY disappointed after hear hints about ContainerControls for along time before they finally appeared. Yes they are useful... but not nearly as useful as what I had envisioned and hoped for. I wonder if VB has something like Container Controls and if s what are they like. - karen _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe or switch delivery mode: <http://www.realsoftware.com/support/listmanager/> Search the archives: <http://support.realsoftware.com/listarchives/lists.html>
