Just to update the bug; the patch was reviewed on the list a while back, and
doesn't work:


>    checks that a tree item is a SV_ITEM_ID_LBOXSTRING and refuses to do 
> anything with it otherwise.

        Right - it does this because in
svtools/source/uno/treecontrolhelper.cxx:

class UnoTreeListItem : public SvLBoxItem

        is not in fact an LBOXSTRING. Quite probably it should be - after all
we have some text.

        So - as/when you can compile - I would suggest switching the code to
derive from SvLBoxString, and binning 'maText' in favour of
SvLBoxString's 'aStr' - and also junking the 'IsA' impl. - which should
then make things work for you :-)

>    The simplest fix, as proposed in the original bug report, is to make 
> UnoTreeListItem::IsA() return SV_ITEM_ID_LBOXSTRING instead of 0.

        Yep - unfortunately the code then starts casting it to a 'SvLBoxString'
- which (might) work much of the time due to similar class layout ;-)
but is not a real fix.

        Any chance you could look into that ? and/or where are you stuck with
building ?
