REALbasic Listbox – Drag-and-Drop
Doing drag-and-drop between two listboxes is pretty easy with REALbasic — just use the sample code in the Language Reference manual. But if you want to drag and drop rows that have multiple columns, you’re going to need to add a little more code.
This video shows how easy that can be, and also takes a look at NthField and CountFields, two cool features in RB.

REALbasic Custom Controls
In the interest of helping people create better-looking RB applications, I’m going to put together a list of custom controls….
Wait a second, that’s kind of what RBGarage is, isn’t it?
Hmmm…I guess what’s missing there is a way to see the controls without going to each site and downloading the demos. I like what Einhugur does — he shows actual pics of the controls so you can get a grasp of what it does for you right off the bat.
So, maybe there’s an opening for something that would “extend” RBGarage…
Any ideas?
REALbasic Timer Controls
Someone on the RB Forums asked about using timers to control the coloring of some squares (what for, I have no idea). So I put together a sample that shows how I’d do it.
There’s a six minute video detailing how to use REALbasic Timer Controls in your program.

REALbasic Database Tutorial
Here’s a video tutorial that will walk you through View, Insert, Update, and Delete records in REALbasic using the RealSQL database:

I put this together because the docs about DB use in RB seem to be a little lacking — at least for me.
