    List Boxes

    If i have a list box that has people's names in it, and i want it to display the sex of the person in the same listbox, but i want all of the male and female's to be in an ordered column, how do i do it? I tried it by adding Chr(9) a couple times, but if the name was long it pushed the gender to the right. Is there a way for me to have it displayed in 2 columns in one listbox in an orderly manner? If anyone knows how to do this in vb 5 and vb.net that would be great!!

    Use a ListView control rather than a listbox.

    thanks martin... sometimes im hesitant to post here as there aren't as many people browsing the .net forum, but w/ my situation where i am making a program in .net and vb 5, should i just create the thread twice, once in each forum, to save u the trouble of moving it constantly?
