The application I'm writing will have a small group of key-value pairs associated with each object. Looking through the docs, I see widgets for displaying elementary items (e.g. TQListBox), but nothing for something like a TQMap (e.g. a TQlistBoxMap). I could use a TQTable, but that strikes me as akin to using a sledgehammer to kill flies. As a neophite c++ programmer, I know that in theory I can subclass TQListBoxItem to do this, but how to go about that, I haven't a clue. The docs say merely that ' If you need to insert customized items into a TQListBox you must inherit this class and reimplement paint(), height() and width().' Any suggestions to help get me started with this would be appreciated. Leslie
