Sorry Bruce and Thomas. Traditionally I have filled list boxes from within
platform code since it is basically a matter of creating a lot of glists
and binding them to widgets.
I agree this aspect does make doing the XP dialogs hard. The styles dialog
is particularly difficult since it so big.
I guess the code could be recast to filling protected UT_Vectors then
copying them into glists. This initially struck me as as duplicated effort
but if it makes the code more maintainable it is worthwhile.
I'm reluctant to change things at this point since the code basically
works though. If you have specific questions just ask me and I will try to
explain how it all fits together.
Cheers
Martin
