ListInList With the GlacialList Winforms Control
I recently worked on a desktop GUI app that required a set of independently scrolling columns, each column with it's own list. After several experiments, the MS provided list control was clearly not going to work. Here's how I solved the problem.

After the initial experiments, it looked like I was going to have to write a ground-up control, a good sized chore. Googling around for other options another possibility came up, thanks to GlacialComponents.Attached (ListInList Viz Studio 2003 Project Files) is a somewhat commented sample app. If you just want the .exe, you can download ListInList Debug .exe.
The product this work was for implemented this control for an asynchronously updating set of embedded lists. A thread safe, async updating UI is something .Net/Winforms does a pretty good job of developing for. That's the subject of another writeup (in progress).

 | ListInList Viz Studio 2003 Project Files 121,498 bytes, 33 downloads This Viz Studio.Net 2003 project demonstrates embedding lists within a list control. The .exe in bin\Debug should work out of the box. To rebuild, you'll need to install the GlacialList control from ProdDetail/glv.aspx. Note: you'll get a series of demo license dialogs unless you rebuild with a paid GlacialList license. Posted by Rod on Sep. 2 2007 Zoom |
