1. ListView question?
I suspect ListView can't do this, but I thought I'd ask:
I'd like to be able to let a user add items to a list of items, and have
associated with each item a couple of check boxes, with each column of check
boxes having a label describing what action on the main item checking the
box could cause.
Don't know if this will come through email clearly, but like this:
ITEMS | ACTION1 | ACTION2 |
------------------------------------------------ |
an item | x | |
2nd item | x | x |
3rd item | | x |
------------------------------------------------ |
Then when the user clicks on some other button, the list will be perused,
and actions will be taken on each item depending on what was checked.
Can anyone suggest a way I could do something like this?

Jonas,
Ok, I'll take a look, but seems likely it wouldn't allow for the same kind
of "dynamic" expansion that a list would (ie, user action adds new item to
list, which also adds associated check-boxes in same row).

or maybe it does allow adding additional rows :)

Al,
Thanks, a nice idea & I'll bear it in mind, but for the moment I'm looking
into Jonas' suggestion to use EuGrid, as it looks "pretty".

5. Re: ListView question?
Al,
Sent you a screen shot direct, as topica refused to accept the .doc
attachment with a screen shot.
It looks pretty much like a listview control, with columns, column headers,
can optionally have individual row id (can be row number, can be other
things too), can have check boxes as items in "cells", can have invisible
cells for spreadsheet like reference (put something in an invisible cell,
have another cell operate on it & report in a visible cell), can be added to
like a list, and seems to have a built in scroll like a list or list view.
