That's interesting.

I was going to suggest an embed, but that's beyond my technology.

How do you get the ID of the list element clicked? It give the 
ListboxID  for ID each time , which is only natural I suppose, but 
gives no element info.
Do you then need to go to a Mouse based approach after the click?

local fn DoDialog
dim as long   evnt, id
evnt = dialog( 0 )
id   = dialog( evnt )

select evnt
case _wndClose
end
case _btnClick
// where from here?
end select
end fn
