I am trying to display some information from a database in a form that
displays one record per line. When the user clicks anywhere on a line, that
record is highlighted and selected, and my program will respond to that. The
problem is that with a listbox control (which is what it sounds like I need),
I can't get the information to format at all. \t-Tabs skew the data
unpredicatably - it leaves some words closer together on some lines than
others. Spaces are not appropriate either because I am trying to get the data
to display in psuedo-columns - ie: last name, firstname, SS, etc. The
DataGrid looks great as far as formatting goes, but when a user clicks on a
DataGrid cell, It just selects that cell, and it highlights the text like it
wants to be edited - even if its a read-only Datagrid. Is there a way to make
rows of a DataGrid select all the way across like data in a ListBox? Or Is
there a way to reliably format the data in a listbox? Right now for the
listbox I am using this:
String listHolder;
foreach(DataRow row in dtaRows)
{
listHolder = row["lastname"].ToString()+ ", \t"+
row["firstname"].ToString()+"\t "+row["middlename "].ToString()+"\t "+row["ss"].ToString();
this.listBox1.I tems.Add(listHo lder);
}
What are my options??? I can't figure out how to make it do what I'm looking
for with either control. I only need one of them to work. I would definately
prefer the DataGrid though. Any ideas/suggestions? Thanks.

Hi,
If you mean no current cell (whole row is selected), I'm just adding it to
my grid.
You may try out (free open source master/detail gird):

I think I'm going crazy, but I cannot remember how to create a listbox with
multiple columns as well as the sortable header block (a la Outlook message
list). I've seen the examples of how to structure items in a listbox into
"columns" by comparing the string length and adding white space but I was at
some point able to do it similar to a DataGrid with the ListBox look.
Does anyone have this code?
Thanks,

Hi guys,
Someone once said, 'You can do that with reflection'. I can't recall
what it was I was trying to do at the time, but then he said, 'Any
developer knows what reflection is...'. I kept quiet and smiled.
What is reflection!?
I have been reading it up, and all I can work out is that it has
something to do with Late Binding, and the use of GetType and Type.
