Multi Column ListBox

[matthewtec]

I see that it is possible to have a multicolumn ListBox:

lstOne.MultiCol umn = True
lstOne.ColumnWi dth = 10

but the only way I have seen to have the items in the listbox print in the
next column is to add enough items to go to the bottom and then start again
at the top.

Is there any way to select which column in the ListBox I want to have an
item added to?

Thanks for any help!

I don't know if there is a rational way or not,
but in this situation I put 10 listbox beside each other,
then remove the borders and spaces, so they look like
one listbox.

Hi,

The listbox only supports one column. The listview control supports
multiple columns. I think that might be a better choice for you.

You can have a look at the multicolumn combobox.

However, in my opinion *is* the DataGrid a multicolumn listbox

I hope this helps,

Hi,

If you really want to use a ListBox control, I think that only the .NET 2.0
version supports multiple columns:

But you can use also a ListView control, take a look at the View property:
