Hi Allies,
I've been toying with this new gadget, (still a work in progress). Thought
it might be of interest.

Probably the best thing for last few weeks here. Shows we can use stylize to
build even more complex widgets. Very nice.
Thanks,

Hi Mike,
Thanks for the feedback.
It could be made to automatically switch between drop up or drop down, but
it may be more trouble than it is worth. You can set the numbers of rows
shown with the rows facet. This gives a fixed maximum size for the drop list
part (Rows * 15 + 8). In most cases this can be taken into account during
Gui design.
What do you think?
Cheers,
Allen K

Thanks Petr,
I've just uploaded a new one that enables coloured lists. Carl really
deserves the credit here, the TEXT-LIST is a fantastic style and nearly all
of its facets are exposed. (The only thing I can't easily access is the
highlight colour) . All I've done is add some glue.
Maybe you understand a little better what I was trying to say in my email,
about the power of styles?
Cheers,

p.s. My vote for best script of the week is SWIS, though easyvid.r is a
close rival. Both have some powerful techniques and ideas.
