Well like several others here, I have spent many hours writing code in a ListBox only to find out about the visual "quirks" it possesses when the list is populated with more than 50 or so records. I have read several threads seeing that this is not unusual for a ListBox control. I don't like that I will have to replace this with something else. I am using it as a multiselect list for users to select records to print or email to clients. The list could be populated with several thousand records for any one client. I want the standard Windows characteristics of Ctrl-Click and Shift-Click. This seems difficult to code into a Grid control.

Before I go off on another adventure for it's replacement, I wanted opinions of the good people of UT. I have been reading Andrew MacNeil's article in Foxpro Advisor(Nov 2000) on the bbListView control. It looks very versatile. What are the limitations and "quirks" if any, of this control?

Should I explore the idea of using a Grid control for this task? If so, any suggestions for examples here at UT or elsewhere?

Thanks
