"RscListBox" created via ctrlCreate is buggy, you can only select the first seven items.

Buttons created using ctrlCreate ("RscButton"), always close the current dialog. Resetting the action using buttonSetAction and returning true/false makes no difference.
One workaround to this is to set the button's action using buttonSetAction, and in addition to other code, place commands to open your dialog again.
Note: Setting a button's action will not override it closing your dialog, but if you open it again in the button's action code, it opens fast enough that the user might not notice.
Look at the Discussion section for this page for more information.
