I’m really struggling to understand how I may implement a single window  
with multiple ListViews.

Using the example [http://visualruby.net/site/ListView%20Tutorial.html](http://visualruby.net/site/ListView%20Tutorial.html)

I wish to have multiple folder lists within one window. Any help would  
be very much appreciated.

Create a new window in glade. Add 2 vboxes named vbox1 and vbox2. Then  
you can add a listview to each box:

I think this works:

def before\_show()  
@vbox1 = VR::ListView.new(hash)  
@vbox2 = VR::ListView.new(hash2)  
end

If the = doesn’t work then try this:

@builder[“vbox1”].add(VR::ListView.new(hash))

This will fill the vboxes with the listviews. Of course, you may wish  
to populate them first.
