List/X

List/X+ is an ActiveX control which sets a new standard for functionality and programmability in ActiveX controls. List/X+ provides multiple sortable columns, multi-line headers, captions, and list items, unlimited color options, and more. The Mabry List/X+ control is a 32-bit light ActiveX.

List/X+ also provides a unique owner-draw capability using high-level COM objects that you create with Visual Basic. This feature provides unlimited flexibility, freeing you from the design limitations built into other controls. Using owner-draw objects, you can easily define the exact appearance of any column in any row. With List/X+ you can display bitmaps, change fonts and colors on the fly, and use any of the graphical methods available in Visual Basic or the Windows API.

FUNCTIONALITY
* Multiple columns
* Multi-column sorting -- individual columns can be sorted as desired
* Sorted/unsorted property may be modified at runtime
* Multi-line list items -- the individual items can be single line or multi-line
* Multi-line column headings -- each column can have its own multi-line heading
* Multi-line caption -- captions are not limited to single lines.
* Unique and innovative COM callbacks provide the programmer with the ability to paint any or all listbox items on a per-column basis
* ItemData is a Variant instead of a Long -- you are no longer limited to numbers only as the data type. The list items can be associated with numeric values, objects, arrays, boolean values, or any other value that can be held in a Variant.
* Simple selection, multiselect, and extended multiselect
* Selection-type is programmable at run-time
* Column alignment may be modified at run-time
* User resizable columns
* Minimum and maximum widths for user-resizable columns
* Properties to determine whether the mouse is over the caption, headings, or list parts of the listbox
* Powerful object-oriented programming model with Column objects and Columns collection
* ColumnIndex property provides the column location of the mouse
* List items are assignable at design-time using property pages

APPEARANCE
* 3D effects for list, caption, and headings include Raised, Pop, Drop, Shadow, or Inset
* Programmable 3D effect colors
* Caption is alignable to left, right, or center
* Selected and normal foreground and background colors may be specified for the listbox, columns, and individual items
* Appearance and colors are programmable at runtime
