not multiplatform)
I wonder how many of our developers would find support ActiveX useful?

>For example I didn't see any tree component so how would you show for
example a xml-type structure?
You can find a sample treeview control which can read and display xml,
and display hundreds of elements in milliseconds in the Revolution 2.0
samples folder. If you look at the script you'll notice it's less than
120 lines, and can display images.  This is not to say that an xml tree
view object would not be useful in the engine, but by giving developers
things like support for images in fields and perhaps enhanced support for
things like parent scripts as Richard mentioned, it's not difficult to
roll your own and it will work for all platforms.
