Hi Krool! I just stumbled upon this thread - Wow! Is this set of controls all your creation? I've been wanting to hack up VB's controls forever, and it looks like you've done it, the right way! The biggest one for me is Unicode support: VB ends up eating 2 bytes for every string character you store, but you get no benefit from it. And then you have to suffer conversion back and forth from Unicode to ANSI and back...What were they thinking?
Can I download and test your current version? Some more questions:
1. Do you accept bug fixes?
2. Do you consider/accept compatible enhancements to original functionality? (Enhancements that were not intended functionality, broken or otherwise?)
3. How close are you on completing your goals for this project? In other words, are you just doing bugfixes at this stage, or do you have a lot more to add?

You should sell this code - I'd be happy to pay for corrected functionality, after suffering MS' original offerings for many years. I know everyone has gone .NET, but I just can't get my head around that idea. VB's simplicity and feel just cannot be beaten. You've effectively built VB7

Thanks in advance.
