I would love to be able to use progress bars and LEDs as well. I think people would find it useful to be able to put most of the controls and indicators into a special type of multicolumn listbox.

A better generic solution is an array of clusters from the Flat Palette. Couple that with Static Event Registrations of Array Elements, and you could concoct some pretty fierce UI's. This would be more flexible, and potentially easier for R&D to implement.

Currently to do something similar you would have to create an array of Menu Rings clusters. The big problem with that is that all of the Menu Rings in an array of Menu Rings, are only allowed to have the exact same List Items. I want to be able to edit the items' list individually.
In order to avoid the above, and simulate the same effect of a table with drop down menus, I need to create a complicated structure in which I have a "floating" Menu Ring that appears in front of the cell that was clicked, and updates the list items according to cell's row and column indexes.
I use this simulated drop down table all of the time, and I also wish there was a simple control that does this.
