listBox help for a beginner

[Jeff]

Thanks in advance from an absolute beginner.

I have a listbox with many different items listed. I want the user to
select one item and then sort that selection into several different
labelboxes, i.e. the first three positions in lblBoxOne, positions 4-10
in lblBoxTwo, 11-20 in lblBoxThree and so on. I have been looking for
a while now and the answer is very close but I just can't put my finger
on it.

Look in the help for the:

String.SubString method, which will allow you to break up the selected
string from your listbox into the desired substrings. The substrings can
then be assigned to the Text properties of your labels.
