ComboBox and other layouts for Gumbo

Flow is unlikely for now, sorry. Timeframe for starting is I believe December. But these things change.<br /><br /><br />On 10/23/08 9:39 AM, "Haykel Ben Jemia" <member@adobeforums.com> wrote:<br /><br />A new message was posted by Haykel Ben Jemia in<br /><br />Developers --<br /> ComboBox and other layouts for Gumbo<br /><br />"...all components whether Halo or Gumbo will support BiDi (hopefully)"<br />Wow! This is very good news!! I know you hate this question, sorry but I can't resist: Any time frame when you will start implementation?<br /><br />For the grid, I agree it shouldn't be very hard to implement with the new components.<br /><br />What about a flow layout? Any hints?<br /><br /><br />On Thu, Oct 23, 2008 at 6:03 PM, Matt Chotin <member@adobeforums.com> wrote:<br />A new message was posted by Matt Chotin in<br /><br />Developers --<br /> ComboBox and other layouts for Gumbo<br /><br />Re ComboBox: yes we are currently planning on doing a combo box in the new architecture.

I'd just like to chip in that I know plan was to ditch it in Fx3, but I use Grid all the time. Sometimes you just want a nice pretty list of things without having to customise one of the List containers or DataGrid just to turn off a bunch of stuff you don't need, and create custom renderers, etc.
