> Greg,

Hello!

> Hopefully you're still around...and still working on xControls!

Still here. Still actively programming. xControls is on again/off again.

Controls.  The attached program shows what the UI should look like.  The pr=
oblem is when the vertical splitter is moved the controls under the "DB2" t=
ab disappear.  They re-appear when the "IFS" tab is selected.

ACTUALLY, if you move the HSplitter in the DB2 tab, you'll see the
bottom ListView disappear. So this appears to be an issue with
resizing the HSplitter, which is triggered when you move the VSplitter
or the HSplitter itself. There appears to be a math error somewhere,
since moving the HSplitter doesn't result in the proper position.
Plus, I've always had issues with ListViews choosing to misbehave when
resized.

> Am I doing something wrong or is this a limitation of xControls?

No, you are entirely correct. I'm currently porting all the xControls
over to Win32Lib built-in controls, since I've pretty much cracked
Derek's secret feature. :) He tells me he'll be changing it, but no
matter. There are some issues with xControls I'd like to work out.
I've already turned Geometry and LimitSize into libraries, rather than
controls, since they were never really "controls" to begin with.

Your issue as added a little fuel to the fire under my ass on this
project. I'll work on it and see what I can do. Thanks for finding the
first xControls bug under my watch! :)
