The length of the contents buffer will dynamically be expanded to hold all of what the user type (unless a maximum length is given) Allan Odgaard Dagmarsgade 36 DK-2200 Copenhagen EMail : Duff@DIKU.DK http://www.DIKU.DK/students/duff/ @endnode @node "PopUpMenu.library" "PopUpMenu.library" @{b}PopUpMenu.library@{ub} © by Henrik Isaksson This is The One and Only Popup Menu Library you use when you want a nice popup menu in your programs!

It handles directly most attributes which are handled by Listview in the original couple List/Listview. The NListview exist anyway to provide a complete object with scrollbars, so you should use it as child of NListview. Anyway, you can use NList without NListview if you don't want any builtin scrollbar.
