Actually, the list view won't be in Dave's versions of win32lib.  You'll
need mine.  You can get the latest at


It's got some demos that should be able to get you started on using the new
controls.  There's a readme file, but I'd also recommend running makedoc.exw
to generate a new html help file.  It's not complete, but it fills in some
of the gaps.

The list box control with tab stops is easier to implement.  You just need
to use style LBS_USETABSTOPS, which I have defined in my version, but I
don't think you'll find in any of Dave's.  The value for it is 128.  I've
also added code to allow multiple selections for list boxes (use style
LBS_MULTISEL or LBS_EXTENDEDSEL).  There's also a style LBS_MULTICOLUMN, but
I'm not certain how it works.

There are two good places to get help, though.  The first (highly
recommended if you have a fast connection), is to download the Win32.hlp
file from the RDS archives.  Some of the common control info is out of date,
but it's a great resource.  If you can't find what you need there, go to
http://msdn.microsoft.com/default.asp
and do a search.

I've also attached David Cuny's grid.ew include file.  It's not complete,
but it goes a long way, and shows you some interesting emulation tricks.
