List box line feed

[Supremus]

G'day,

I am populating a list box with data from a database using this ...

List1.Item(X).AddItem .Fields!JobNumber _
                                  & vbTab & .Fields!TimeAvailable _
                                  & vbTab & Left(.Fields!Couriertype, 2) _
                                  & vbCrLf _
                                  & vbTab & FromRs.Fields!CName _
                                  & vbTab & FromRs.Fields!AddrSuburb _
                                  & vbTab & ToRs.Fields!CName _
                                  & vbTab & ToRs.Fields!AddrSuburb _
                                  & vbCrLf _
                                  & vbTab & TempString

, but the vbCrLf doesn't work - it just gives me 2 vertical bars.

I know I can use AddItem several times to simulate the line feed, but that's no good to me as clicking on one item won't select all the tiems in the record.

Listboxes aren't designed for that purpose I think you'll find. They are designed to list one item on one line, that's why you see the two characters representing carriage return and line feed (ControlChars.CrLf).

Yey! My 1,400th post.

hi..tried to use the "controlchars.CrLf" instead of vbCrLf?

[Ideas Man]

ControlChars.CrLf and vbCrLf are the same thing, though the former is the more correct .NET way.

G'day Andy,

It says variable not defined.

Are you sure you're entering it in correctly? It shouldn't say that, unless you don't have the correct library referenced.

Yes, I copy/pasted, but the missing library is a distinct possibility. Which resource do I need?

Hi..try to include "System"

(Imports System), or microsoft.Visualbasic..

[Ideas Man]

Microsoft.VisualBasic.ControlChars is the full path to the class.

Sorry, you have lost me there. I'm running vb6 with sp6. What am I missing?

Why did you post in the Visual Basic .NET forum then? They are two semi-'different' languages. Could a moderator please move this into classic VB?

What we were both talking about was for .NET, not VB6.

Is stupidity a valid excuse?

I'll go to the right forum and repost.

Thanks for your efforts.

Or better yet, just wait for a mod to move it, that way it stays intact.

If you are going to post it in another form, please say something like that in the title for the first message to let people browsing know that.

Yeah, I'll forgive a fellow aussie for posting it in the wrong form
