Yes the items contained in those controls. Think virtual mode where the control doesn't store items but requests the data as it is needed.

The MVC pattern encourages good OOP practices and the creation of reusable data sources. The following are good references. Java's Swing is a personal preference as it encourages the creation of reusable classes.

If there's broad native/toolkit support, creating a specific widget for this wouldn't be a problem. [snip] Regards, -- Felipe Magno de Almeida
