What controls are in PPL?
For instance, I wanted to use a Grid control. Are things like this available?

PPL will not be a Visual Basic replacement. The visual form building aspect of PPL is not the first goal of PPL. It is there to add simplicity to PPL but won't be the number 1 priority.
I have no plans to support more controls for now. PPL supports ACTIVEX, I am thinking of integrating ActiveX controls later on but that is it.

I've seen a listview control in the VFB in the PIDE. I seem to remember that this has a lot of functionality for this sort of thing. Doesn't it have several grid modes?

Thanks for the hint webba, however the LISTVIEW is not as easy to use as a grid control but can certainly be used to ressemble one. By using a report style view and creating multiple columns it can be done.
I can provide you with some code to show you how to use it if you'd like.

I don't have any immediate requirement for a grid but when I start thinking about my next project with PPL, I do think it would be V useful.
Kornalius, if you have time to put some code together demonstrating this, I'd certainly be interested.
