Thanks for the information. There is not much (if any) documentation on
properties in the GUI documentation. It is all about methods and events.

I already explained this!!!

I will try to explain this more clearly:
various options in control creations (eg. -sort in this case) are
just bits of style internally (in this case, LBS_SORT); so, if you
are not familiar with Windows Programming, I mean *C* Programming,
and you don't know how Windows controls work, and you don't have
WINUSER.H available (possibly memorized line by line), and you
are not able to read and understand the GUI.xs source code, please
DON'T USE -style!
DON'T USE -style!
DON'T USE -style!
ok, now let's go back to your case: the real bug is the lack of
LBS_NOTIFY (the "1" in your -style option) on the Listbox, which
I'll turn on by default. to workaround the whole thing, add another
"2" (for LBS_SORT) to the -style:
-style => WS_VISIBLE | WS_VSCROLL | 3 | WS_TABSTOP,
cheers,
Aldo
