Terry:
   I looked up ListView in my C++ compiler samples and I think that you
   will find that it is going to be a serious task to use it with
   the win32lib.ew because you will have to handle a lot of callbacks
   and codes that are not yet implemented in win32lib which was written
   to handle the basic standard controls used in win32.
   If you are just trying to display data records on the screen for a
   user to view then there may be a easier ways to do that.
   What I would suggest that you sit down and define your problem
   and determine what you are trying to accomplish. Then see
   if you can find a simple way to accomplish it.
   Maybe someone that is an expert at using listview can help you.
   Sometimes the controls are very impressive and dazzling in win95
   and NT but they require C++ to make them easy to manage.
   I am not saying that they can't be done in Euphoria, just that it
   will take hours of work to implemnt the list view control and get
   it working. If you got a dead-line to meet then try to make a simpler
   approch to your problem by rethinking it.
