I am looking for an implementation of a "List Box" control for a dialog box. This control would have a scrolling window of strings fed to it by the application; some of these strings would be selected by the user, and then an OK button would be pressed. That is, what I'm looking for is similar to what's done in the Open File dialog box, but with multiple selection possible (and, of course, arbitrary strings, not file names). I am writing an application targeted toward both the Mac and MS Windows, and have so far been struck by the similarility between the two environments. However, MS Windows has a List Box control which does exactly what I want, whereas the Mac seems to have nothing of the sort. I could build my own from scratch, but first I want to check to see if any code fragments are available to help me. C is preferred, as the application is already 7000 lines of MS C 6.0/THINK C 4.0. (Thank heavens for #ifdef!) Thanks! Mark Riordan Michigan State University riordanmr@clvax1.cl.msu.edu

Look at the List Manager Chapter in IM IV. I think it's what you want.
