Hi. I want to use a ListBox like widget. I don't know which control is it equivalent in Ultimate++. Should I use ArrayCtrl, GridCtrl or other control (ColumnList, FileList)?
Maybe an experienced user could give a list with Upp widgets and their equivalents in other toolkits (U++ - gtk+ - windows).

See the list of all widgets.

ColumnList is probably what you want, though it doesn't do keys unfortunately.

You can customize ArrayCtrl to look like a ListBox.
Of course, it has much more features, but it is not a problem, I think.

Well, ListBox control is a simple widget. It doesn't need SQL integration, multiple columns, etc. I want to use it to control which columns are visible in GridCtrl widget.

|Stock(ListBox)|         |Current View(ListBox)|
-----------------------------------------------
|Column2        |         |Column1             |
|Column3        |         |Column4             |
|ColumnX        |   <=    |Column5             |
|ColumnX        |   =>    |                    |
-----------------------------------------------

In that case is better having a simple widget, because using ArrayCtrl or GridCtrl here and in other places where a ListBox is needed, will increase executable size.

It is possible to have something like Firefox "Grid" control have for hide its columns?

GridCtrl has bulit-in controlling of columns visibility. You must write grid.Hiding() and now in popup menu columns submenu should be activated.

PS: Indeed firefox way to hide/show column is very nice. I was thinking about adding this to gridctrl.
