Hi Andre, thanks for the feedback about the multi-column list box spec. I'll incorporate it into the next version of the document (even if this might take a while since this is not my top priority ATM). Some short answers here:

At the moment, the control extension aims at interoperability with MS office documents, for instance for importing Word docs. For this reason, I'm going to add this in the "Future Tasks" section for now. > "for list boxes, a Column count other than 1 disables the Dropdown > property in the property browser: multi-column list boxes cannot be drop > down" > > I didn't really understand why! This is twofold: a) My gut feeling is that implementing multi-column drop downs might significantly increase the effort and b) it's not yet needed for the primary aim (see above). As a conclusion, this at the moment is worth a "Future Task", but not a requirement.
