I wanted to add a project. The ListBox replacement I had been working on for
one specific funcionality: a ListTreeBox for files and folders (MS Explorer
like).
My first attempt, using a Canvas, was getting 'almost there', but not quite.
My second attempt, which I based upon Aaron's simple listbox example from
his Windows Functionality Suite, using declares, turned out to be more
trouble than worth it. The thought of having to go through it again for
Linux and OSX put me off (though RB's ListBox implementation on OSX seems
much better).
This last project I was going to add to REALOpen, compiles, and runs. It
shows different icons for various file types. It has hottracking, single
click folder expand, and is faster than doing the same in RB's standard
Listbox (though not THAT much faster that I had hoped for. It's about 2x
faster).
What doesn't work correctly yet is showing expanded and collapsed states of
directory icons. I needed to do that with an overlay function, but RB's lack
of Enum support makes stuff like that a tedious job. You can also not
collapse a folder with a single click when it is selected.
The reason for releasing the source would of course be that I hoped others
would pick it up and contribute back to it (silly gullible dreamer that I
am?).
Admittedly, the source is a bit of a mess. It'd be like inheriting your pa's
halfheartedly sorted stamp collection.

Subject: REALOpen closed?
Does anyone know what's up with realopen.org? When trying to go there I get
the message "realopen Could Not Connect to Database:"
Is it gone, or is it just misconfigured (or database down)?
