List/X+ is an ActiveX control that 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.
