Multi-line headings in the tree pane...

A couple of days ago someone -- I think it was Charlie -- refered to the fact that most of the tree panes only allow for a single line of text. I recently ran across an application that allows for multi-line headings. It is called NeatNotes (www.al-soft.com). It is similar to TreeDBNotes and others like it, in that it is primarily about presenting your information (with tables and colors and icons galore), as opposed to collecting and organizing it. Another point of difference is that it allows you to add "pages" to each entry, which are accessible through tabs.

Yes, that was me, and I was commenting on the fact that most multipane outliners are built using the standard Windows controls. The standard tree control has this limitation. I'll bet NeatNotes is using a third-party control, or that they rolled their own tree control.

Thanks for the link! NeatNotes has a very interesting feature set. I'll download it and have a look.
