This is a 'List view'; it's similar to an Explorer 'Tree view', but it uses
bitmap icons. No, I haven't implemented these. I don't think VEL has it
either.

I haven't implemented MDI, and I don't plan to. Microsoft seems to be moving
away from the MDI model and to using tabbed panes for various documents. I
don't know about VEL.

Toolbars are dockable, but I've chosen to implement them in Win32Lib as
sticking to the top of the window. Again, I can't speak for VEL.

You can trap any Win32 event.
What's an HTML dialog box, anyway?

Since they toolbars can't float in Win32Lib, no.

The 'List view' is not currently implemented in Win32Lib. I don't think it's
part of VEL yet, either.

What sort of application are you writing, and what makes Euphoria so well
suited for it?
Euphoria's support of Win32 is still a bit weak. VEL is ahead of Win32Lib in
the 'cool control' list, but your list exceeds even VEL. If you need all
these widgets, I suspect you'd be better served with some other language.

I use a DOS editor. It's a lot easier on my eyes.
