Fisheye menus [modified] Not necessarily menus

[Jim Crafton]

Well forget menus. What about as a replacement for scrollbars in a list control?

Wooops, I didn't mean menus per se I was thinking more about list controls. Try as we might there is always going to be a need to list a very large number of things.

Well, after reading this message I tried to build something like it, and I got something working. It hasn't got quality enough to be an article, at least for now, so if you want I can send it to you by mail so you can see it. It's on .NET 2.0 and C# Matias Szulman

Works for me just now, maybe a temporary thing.

You should post it as an article.

I guess it would be fairly easy in the web using js / css - our current web context menu uses two styles to high / low light items - they could be modified to crank up / down the text size I guess...in fact - I think I'm gonna try that one! :)

Yeah, but can you imagine the bazillion lines of custom-draw code you'd have to write? X|
