- Yes, sure, but the programmer has to write the code to draw the bars.
- The only rendering BGUI can do natively within listviews is to write
- text. If you want more, you supply BGUI with a rendering callback hook,
- in that hook you can do pretty much what you like.

- By the same mechanism as above. Heck, you can draw a fractal in a
- listview entry if you really want to. Animations might be tricky,
- though.

- Dunno, you'll have to ask Jan van den Baard. If you want to experiment
- with, and comment on, the beta versions of BGUI, tune in to the mailing
- list (see BGUI docs for details) and/or point your browser at
- <http://sable.ox.ac.uk/~nick/bgui>.
-
- >Is it faster than MUI now?
-
- Depends on who you ask. In my opinion it was always faster than
- MUI2.3, but MUI has improved so much in V3 that it's a close race
- now, with MUI3 maybe just a nose ahead. Most other comments I've
- seen say that MUI3 is much faster than BGUI, but some suggest that
- BGUI is faster on gfx boards. Take your pick.
