Thanks dolik.rce, I see what u mean and it is easy for me to understand. I see how easy it can be. However, there is one more issue for me. The control and the way I should code them is clear to me, but how should I do the container?

The way I thought it out I'd use a ParentCtrl as container. I tried this out, but I think there is more I will have to do as just adding them to a ParentCtrl does not work. (This is not because I am so stupid that I didn't expect it not to work, just because I wanted to know what would happen Embarassed

)

Could you help me out with the parent/container control?

Ok I found a ColumnList for Ctrl's. I tested it with standard controls and it works! However, when I try to add my own controls it draws a scrollbar, but it doesn't draw any of my controls.

- Why does it not draw itself? I tried to inherit from Ctrl and ParentCtrl.
- The thread in which the CtrlColumnList was posted also has posts stating that the idea to implement this functionality into the existing ColumnList or ArrayCtrl could be worked out. I have found functions like Add(Ctrl&/* ctrl) in these controls so can I assume the extra code for the CtrlColumnList would not be nessecary anymore?
