Is this possible??

[Lethal]

Is this possible? My boss does it in Delphi. Can i display two fields into a list box? One of the fields will be the one saved into the database, the other just for means of lookup capability.. For example

Field 1 Field 2
010 Plant Name

Fields 2 is only there to give a name to "010"

thanks

I think you can enter columns to listboxes, anyway, use the ListView instead, it has a lot of advantages compared to the listbox, including the look.

To add a ListView Press CTRL + T and select Microsoft Windows Common Controls and the icon of the ListView must now appear in your toolbox.

Reply if you need help

looks pretty cool, although, how do you add items to the list?? I see there isn't a datasource property or add item? What am i overlooking?

Oh sh*t, Databases.

I'm pretty sure it's possible, but I've no idea, I never worked with databases (and never needed to), so I'm afraid I can't help you on this one... sorry...

for n = 0 to rs.recordcount - 1
mylistbox.additem rs.field1, n
rs.movenext
next

Bark, does that work for the listview also, or just simple list boxes?
