    Hi,

    I am new to ObjectListView. I like the capabilities of this control.

    I've done the "Getting started" tutorial to create a very simple list.
    Everything is nice under Windows, but my platform is Mono/Unix.

    As announced Sep. 2009 in the FAQ, Mono is not longer supported:

    Does it work with Mono?
    As of September 2009, not any more.
    It would be possible to make it work with Mono again. Please let me know if
    you are interested.

    I am definitively interested. And I am willing to work on it.

    Regards

    Thomas

    I'll second the request for bringing back Mono support. I had a user try to
    port my CDG Editor project to Mono and he came unstuck on the ObjectListView.

    Many thanks for your excellent list view.

    Are you still interested in reviving support for Mono?

    I had one user of one of my projects that wanted to port my project to Mono. I
    have no personal interest in or any time to invest in testing it.

    I have some small apps (which use OLV) that I would love to port to Mono.

    So, my vote is, yes. I would be interested in OLV supporting Mono.

    I would be intrested, too.

    The biggest part would probably be to find alternatives to the P/Invokes to the winapi (NativeMethods.cs)

    I attached a report of the Mono Migration tool, It shows the winapi calls and a few other problems

    Please, I could use Mono support right now, yeah I realize that's not enough notice :-). Today I'm spending time working on converting an OLV using .Net 4.0 app to run on RedHat Linux using Mono. OLV appears to be the major barrier to running on Mono for this app.

    From past experience, keeping OLV available on Mono is quite a lot of work. And running UI apps on Mono is not a very common dev option.

    So, from my point of view, I could spent a large amount of effort to add this not very commonly used functionality, OR I could direct that time to other functions that are much more commonly requested (custom checkboxes, easier styling/theming).

    So, I think Mono support will have to wait until some organisation is willing to sponsor it's development

      No problem at all. I already created a proxy that uses olv on Windows and
      the stock listview on Linux and Mac. That would be one way olv could
      provide pseudo mono support, it could just use the stock listview without
      any fancy features.

      I personally would much rather have new features than mono support.
