In search of default listbox row names, help request.
I found a programmer who would know the answer to this, but he's a little slammed at the moment. If I can free some of his time this week I'll try to press him on it. Feel free to ping me via message if I lose track of it...

NWN 2 Gold W/MoB
I'll try these steps out in the Windows 7 64-bit version when I have a chance and see what happens.

In search of default listbox row names, help request.
This is the response I got (I apologize if some of this wraps weirdly):

"Keep in mind, we didn't always name listbox rows. The listbox row names were almost never actually used in-code but rather were specified mostly as debugging aids.
The listbox manipulating script functions came along well after NWN2 had shipped, and as a result, many of the old list boxes from the original game were not implemented in a way that followed a convention compatible with the list box script functions.

That said, these seem to be the names that I was able to determine.:
characterscreen.xml ListBoxName=SKILLPANE_LIST - Name of skill (from the strref in the skills 2da)
characterscreen.xml ListBoxName=FEAT_LIST - Name of feat (from the strref in the feats 2da)
