I'm porting a winforms app to walk and want to re-implement this view:
i.e. highlight part of the text.
To do that I need to custom paint the item for which I need custom draw support, which ListBox doesn't have currently.
I'm thinking defining an interface like OwnerDrawn (or CustomPainter) with measure/paint methods. If an item from ListBoxModel implements that interface, those methods would be called. Otherwise standard string measuring/drawing would be used.
Does that sound reasonable?
When I get it to work, any interest in having that support merged into walk?
