- The clicklistv object has a pointer to a text object and a cltextview.
- To change the style of the text, you could create a style object and
- call text_SetGlobalStyle on the text object (followed by a
- text_NotifyObservers call) .

-
- The clicklist view was designed as a simple way to get back a single
- clicked-upon string from the user, and these options are simply not
- supported. You could make your own subclass of clklist or cltextview
- that would support these, or you could try using the stringtable object
- (atk/util/strtbl.c). If you need a quick option that doesn't require
- programming, you could use the menterstrv view , and just tell your
- users to type an X after each choice that applies. See the Adew
- reference manual for info on menterstrv.

- Good luck,
