<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Tahoma>I have not used Listviews – for displaying lists I
have generally used grids, listboxes, or checklistboxes. Out of curiosity
what are the main advantages of Tlistview as it seems to have a couple of extra
hurdles to use. Or is it better to go the whole way and use
something like Virtual Tree View (which I am not sure if is supported in Unicode
Delphi). Myself I have generally favoured driving stringgrids quite
hard with quite a bit of code in the drawcell event which gives a lot of
flexibility (I did a VCL stringgrid version of the Firemonkey periodic table
with TList and Stringgrids that looks pretty cool with colours and multiple
texts in each cell.).</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Tahoma>The firemonkey controls allowing embedding of
other controls in them look very promising as well (although I can hear comments
starting up about scorched chimp even as I type this!)</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Tahoma>Comments on merits of each (Listview and Virtual
Tree View) and any references for further reading would be welcome.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Tahoma>This is apropos a larger topic – how to figure out
which control to use for a particular purpose – something which the help does
not really give much help on.</FONT></DIV></DIV></DIV></BODY></HTML>
