Derek,

I'm afraid I've got bad news all the way around for you.  First of all, the
List control can display text in only one color.  Furthermore, you can't
change the foreground or background colors of objects in win32lib (except
the window object)  I did some research on it yesterday, and it wouldn't be
too hard to implement, it just hasn't been done yet...

There is some good news though.  There IS a control that will let you set
different colors on each line, use icons for them, etc.  It is the treeview
control.  *BUT* is isn't implemented in win32lib yet.  I have managed to
create my own WITHOUT using win32lib (YUK!), but treeview objects are class
structures that use dot notation.  I haven't got a clue how you would tell
a treeview to TreeView.InsertItem in Euphoria, so my treeview just sits
there uselessly.  Well, I'm going to go jump off the roof now...

Sorry I wan't any help at all,

Brian
