[A83] Re: Making TileMap Editor - VB


Actually, I'm not using a listbox, I'm using a listview to allow for little 
icons of the tiles that you can put on the map.

Really Sorry, I posted the wrong links for the screenshots
Here are the right ones:

Also, the first one is what it used to look like, I changed it a little to 
what you see in the second screenshot.

Thanks,

   Seth
