These are simple "compound" components, using a TPanel and then more
TPanels and shapes and the like.

The advanced one I have in mind has to be drawn on a canvas, but I'd
start simple and give the slider away. Got to learn how they are built
first.

Matthew,

Yeah, you'll be doing those in your sleep with EWB 2 fairly quickly.  It's
really, really simple to do containers and graphical controls.  The hardest
controls to do are those that require a lot of keystroke handling, but that
doesn't have anything to do with EWB, specifically.  For example, the
TListBox (base class TListControl) took a bit of doing to get done because
it's a custom list box now and doesn't use the built-in browser list
control.   But, it looks a *lot* better and can be completely re-skinned, as
well as inherited from to create things like color selectors, check box list
controls, etc.

I'm putting together a video on how to create a progress control in EWB 2
this weekend, so look for a posting soon about it.

Yep.  Hopefully it won't take everyone too long to get up to speed on
things.
