I prefer to insert this extensions indeed, it will be a big jump over LB, I will leave LB behind me and go faster with LBB.
Each time Richard say that then he fold back for some reasons.
I hope this time will be the big band of LBB.

This thread is very old; there is a gap of more than a year between reply #8 and reply #9! So whilst it is interesting to get responses after such a long time, bear in mind that a lot of water has passed under the bridge since then. In particular see the thread Winding down LBB for a change of direction.
So, although one should never say never, I think it's now very unlikely that LBB will ever be extended to incorporate native List View or Grid controls.
Richard.

The List View is a standard Windows control, so it is available to any language which supports calling the Windows API - and that includes both BBC BASIC and Liberty BASIC. Indeed, demo programs which use a List View control are available for both those languages.
The issue is not whether the List View is available but whether it is supported as a native (built-in) control. BBC BASIC has no built-in controls - it's not a Windows language after all - the only way of creating any standard UI feature (even something as simple as a textbox) is via direct API calls - although these will usually be in a library to isolate the user from the low-level complexity.
So if you want to use a List View in LB 4.04 or LBB go ahead, but I have no plans to make it available as a native control.
Richard.

Yes, you can! LBB already supports that:
Code:for i = 0 to 5
button #m.btn,str$(i),btn,ul,i*50,50,50,50
maphandle #m.btn, "#m.btn";i
next i
open "Multiple buttons" for window as #m
wait
sub btn h$
b = val( right$( h$ , 1))
notice "you pushed button " ; b
end sub
