I can teh fact that list boxheaders don't scroll horizontally with FC5 breakes 
all code that depends on it... and faking the headers to look right Xplatform 
is not trivial as well. as well as having to handle the prssed and non-pressed 
states  and drawing the sort widget.

Sure all is doable (in theory your own listbox is doable...) ... but it's not 
quick to do it right... and it was OK in FC4 and broken in FC5. It should be an 
easy fix for RS... but a lot of trouble for us to deal with if they don't - if 
you use horizintal listbox scrolling with headers and sorting and column 
resizing...
