    Listbox Refrence

    Does anyone know how to reference a particular column in a list box control and then add stuff to it.
    I was looking forward to something like this

    Me.lstMylist.Columns("ColumnName").Add

    ListBoxes don't have columns. They contain a simple list of items. If you want columns then use a ListView or a DataGridView.

    ListBoxes CAN have columns... just not the same way as a ListView or DataGridView does. They have a MultiColumn property which can be set to true.

    However it still only contains 1 single listing of data, it just listes them in multiple columns instead of a single column. Similar to the way a listview behaves in list mode instead of details mode.

    So if you are actually using a listbox setup for multicolumn, then it still is just 1 single set of data. You probably want to be using one of the 2 controls John mentioned above.

    it is possible to get a multicolumn effect by using tabs in your listbox
