Im almost finished with the same ("similar") thing.
I have all of the common controls that win32lib has
and some extra's. It uses strictly Euphoria's mem handling
and was written to be as optimised as possible.
The user will have to be familiar with some notification
messages but most of these have been written as well.

for instance, this code will handle listview and treeview controls
the parent item in the listview will be returned and in the treeview
the name that appears will be returned. The code that sets these up
is highly optimized and can be called the same as win32lib calls them.


    elsif iMsg = WM_NOTIFY then

          id = peek4s(lParam + NMHDR_hwndFrom)

          if id = ListView then

             iMsg = peek4s(lParam + NMHDR_code)

      if iMsg = LVN_COLUMNCLICK then -- ListView "could run a sort routine here"

      elsif iMsg = NM_CLICK then -- ListView Item Clicked

                   junk = c_func(SendMessage,{ListView1,LVM_GETNEXTITEM,-1,
LVNI_FOCUSED})
                   poke4(lvitem + lvitem_iItem,junk)
                   poke4(lvitem + lvitem_iSubItem,0)
                   poke4(lvitem + lvitem_mask,LVIF_TEXT)
                   txtbuff = allocate(256)
                   poke4(lvitem + lvitem_pszText,txtbuff)
                   poke4(lvitem + lvitem_cchTextMax,256)
                   cmd = c_func(SendMessage,{ListView1, LVM_GETITEM, 0, lvitem})

                   lvtxt = peek_string(txtbuff)

                   free(txtbuff)

              end if

          elsif id = TreeView then

              iMsg = peek4s(lParam + NMHDR_code)

              if iMsg = TVN_SELCHANGED then --NM_CLICK then -- TreeView

                   count = c_func(SendMessage,{TreeView1, TVM_GETCOUNT, 0, 0})
                   item = c_func(SendMessage,{TreeView1,TVM_GETNEXTITEM, 0,
TVGN_ROOT})
                   poke4(tvitem + tvitem_hItem,item)

                   poke4(tvitem + tvitem_mask,TVIF_TEXT)
                   poke4(tvitem + tvitem_stateMask, TVIS_SELECTED)
                   txtbuff = allocate(256)
                   poke4(tvitem + tvitem_pszText,txtbuff)
                   poke4(tvitem + tvitem_cchTextMax,256)

                   ok = c_func(SendMessage,{TreeView1, TVM_GETITEM, 0, tvitem})

                   for i = 1 to count do
                       cmd = peek4s(tvitem + tvitem_state )
                       if and_bits(cmd, TVIS_SELECTED) then
                          exit
                       end if

                       item = c_func(SendMessage,{TreeView1, TVM_GETNEXTITEM,
TVGN_NEXTVISIBLE, item})
                       poke4( tvitem + tvitem_hItem, item)
                       ok = c_func(SendMessage,{TreeView1, TVM_GETITEM, 0,
tvitem})
                   end for

                   lvtxt = peek_string(txtbuff)
                   txtlen = length(lvtxt)



Competition with Win32lib its not but I think it will be just as easy
to write apps with that will be much faster....

Maybe in a couple months when Im tired of adding code to it I'll
release it as a version 1.0.

        ListView_Column(ListView1, "Column One",  0, 133 )
        ListView_Column(ListView1, "Column Two", 1, 133 )

this is all is required to create a listview I dont particularly want the extra
processes involved
with renameing. This code also sets colors for the listview, the text and adds
extended styles
all in one little tiny swoop. Anyone that looks at this can take the color
setting features out
for a particular project but thats what makes it fun and alows others to learn
the API as well.

The code to handle notification messages is done for you too and can be
configured easily
as well.

Look easy? It is! Wait a mnth or so and see.
I still have to finish a little project for PATRAT thats fallen behind.

Bernie you must think Im arguing with you, Im not!
I think you have a fantastic idea just curious is all.

Looking at these two structures there is a difference
hParent and hInsertAfter are declared in one not the other

constant
    TVINSERTSTRUCT_hParent = 0,
    TVINSERTSTRUCT_hInsertAfter = 4,
    TVINSERTSTRUCTITEM_mask = 8,
    TVINSERTSTRUCTITEM_hItem = 12,
    TVINSERTSTRUCTITEM_state = 16,
    TVINSERTSTRUCTITEM_stateMask = 20,
    TVINSERTSTRUCTITEM_pszText = 24,
    TVINSERTSTRUCTITEM_cchTextMax = 28,
    TVINSERTSTRUCTITEM_iImage = 32,
    TVINSERTSTRUCTITEM_iSelectedImage = 36,
    TVINSERTSTRUCTITEM_cChildren = 40,
    TVINSERTSTRUCTITEM_lParam = 44,
    SIZEOF_tvstruct = 48

global constant
    tvitem_mask = 0,
    tvitem_hItem = 4,
    tvitem_state = 8,
    tvitem_stateMask = 12,
    tvitem_pszText = 16,
    tvitem_cchTextMax = 20,
    tvitem_iImage = 24,
    tvitem_iSelectedImage = 28,
    tvitem_cChildren = 32,
    tvitem_lParam = 36,
    SIZEOF_tvitem = 40


in another language would be used like this:

  mov tvinsert.hParent,NULL
  mov tvinsert.hInsertAfter,TVI_ROOT
  mov tvinsert.item.imask,TVIF_TEXT+TVIF_IMAGE+TVIF_SELECTEDIMAGE
  mov tvinsert.item.pszText,offset Parent
  mov tvinsert.item.iImage,0
  mov tvinsert.item.iSelectedImage,1

and Euphoria:

  tvstruct = allocate_struct( SIZEOF_tvstruct )
  poke4( tvstruct + TVINSERTSTRUCT_hParent,NULL)
  poke4( tvstruct + TVINSERTSTRUCT_hInsertAfter,TVI_ROOT)
  poke4( tvstruct +
TVINSERTSTRUCTITEM_mask,or_all({TVIF_TEXT+TVIF_IMAGE+TVIF_SELECTEDIMAGE}))
  poke4( tvstruct + TVINSERTSTRUCTITEM_iImage,0)
  poke4( tvstruct + TVINSERTSTRUCTITEM_iSelectedImage,1)

there is no difference in the two languages as for functioning code (sorta)

Are you going to take this into consideration, there is a catch in notifying
the control owner and this is where the second structure come into play.

              if iMsg = TVN_SELCHANGED then --NM_CLICK then -- TreeView

                   count = c_func(SendMessage,{id, TVM_GETCOUNT, 0, 0})
                   item = c_func(SendMessage,{id,TVM_GETNEXTITEM, 0, TVGN_ROOT})
                   poke4(tvitem + tvitem_hItem,item)

                   poke4(tvitem + tvitem_mask,TVIF_TEXT)
                   poke4(tvitem + tvitem_stateMask, TVIS_SELECTED)
                   txtbuff = allocate(256)
                   poke4(tvitem + tvitem_pszText,txtbuff)
                   poke4(tvitem + tvitem_cchTextMax,256)

note that the structure used here for the treeview notification is not the same
as the first
used to create the treeview, it's the second because of its 8 bytes offset. A
question
I recently asked the list about and its pretty straight forward. How will your
engine account
for this? Will it be faster than what I already have?

Good luck Bernie,
