Hi Charles,

thanks for your thoughts! I already looked at your VLOP-classes and they are
really cool...

Rethinking the code is what I am doing currently. I wanted to split up my
VCursorBrowser - code, so that displaying the cursor is more flexible:

i.e.:
- currently it shows ALL fields of the current cursor in the same style
- What I want is to have a field - say 'email' which has its own methods
and creates a hyperlink from the saved string...

- dto. goes for the field-widths etc...


That's why I wanted to split VCursor in 3 classes:
- DisplayClass (shows the complete pane and handles scrolling etc...)
- VCursor-Subclass (which handles all special code for cursors)
- VField-Subclass (which has special methods for different sub-types - i.e.
'mail' or 'http' etc...)

In my CListCanvas I already did something like this. It sends a
'DrawRow'-Event for every row drawn... maybe I go back to the
CListCanvas-class...

If anybody has an idea how to accomplish the task so that we have all the
options above, please don't hesitate posting your ideas. I think this would
be a VERY flexible all-purpose cursorbrowser

Any idea appreciated...
