DesktopListbox Extended

[Sveinn_Runar_Sigurdsson]

I know… again…

… I found an example some months ago that suited my needs perfectly, it was a DesktopListbox demo which showcased rows where a row had multiple lines and fontstyling per cell.

I decided after a long thought that the best way to support a long history of messages, would be to use a very styled listbox, instead of container based canvas which simply doesn’t work for Windows.

So… can I anyone remind me of that Listbox demo which showcased that layout (multiple lines of text per row, and font styling as well)

muuch appreciated, have a nice day all.

That is API 1 code, and I don’t know if it will work on a Desktop window because I never tried.

BTW I wrote the first version of that about 13 years ago and it only needed minor updates over the years to keep it working.
