wanted: richlisttree for bug #399664, I've made some scary hacks to make the richlistbox act like a special case rich tree. I know that myk has done some similar things, see bug #377784. see also bug #367843 (wanted multi column for richlistbox). perhaps this bug is a dup? What I'm looking for is: 1) grid based layout, so I don't have to set the width of the "columns", I could use flex. 2) support "rows" attribute on richlistbox (like we do on listbox), bug #401939

What's bug 399281 about then? Is that really about richlisttree but just incorrectly summarized?

There's already an old bug on this somewhere. The simplest approach to implementing this isn't too difficult, which I currently plan on doing for just after Firefox 3.

neil, can you elaborate on how you'd do this? I'm wondering if, even before we have a generic xul:richlisttree, I could use your approach to improve rich autocomplete.

(In reply to comment #5) > neil, can you elaborate on how you'd do this? The simple approach is to just lay out and render the content in a <treecell> at the right place.
