Xojo ListBox Header Events

[Meestor_X]

Supposedly there are new Header Paint events now?
HeaderBackgroundPaint(g As Graphics, column As Integer) As Boolean
HeaderContentPaint(g As Graphics, column As Integer) As Boolean

I don’t see anything in the documentation showing that. Can anyone verify? Love to see if these can finally be used to get past the limitations of the built-in header.

Just draw it yourself:

Best programming practises: the ListBox

When I started out with REALbasic / Xojo I used the ListBox both to store and display data. It worked but the code was cumbersome and hard to maintain and expand as everything tended to be hardwired like this: ListBoxEmplyees(0, 0).cell = TextFieldName.text ListBoxEmplyees(0, 1).cell = TextFieldFirstName.text ListBoxEmplyees(0, 2).cell = TextFieldStreet.text ListBoxEmplyees(0, 0).cell = TextFieldCity.text Nowadays I don’t pass strings around anymore, I use objects like this: // create new Emp…

That’s great stuff. All I really want is just a different font and 2-line headers without much work, but I’ll take some time and go over your tutorial. The results look excellent. Good job.
