This control is a subclass of the Listbox that was designed to act like REALbasic’s Property Listbox visible in the IDE when editing window contents, or the project tab.

The control is XML-driven, which means that the best way to display something in it, is to load an XML definition file specially made for it.

The creation of the XML file can be done with the "PropertyListbox Creator". This helps to show all available options for each type of cell, and also helps users who aren’t used to writing XML files.

To use this control, just drag it in a window, and in the open event, load an XML file, using the method: "me. LoadFromXML(XMLString As String)".
