how to code columns in a listbox

[arono]

Hi,

I have created a listbox Control and it works fine.  Now I would like to change it to contain two columns.  Looking at the docs there isn't much on this.  I understand that the @CTLISTCOLUMNS attribute needs to be added to the Control statement, the SETLBCOLWIDTH is used to set the width and ADDSTRING is used to add entries to the listbox.

My questions are:
   - How do I indicate that I want 2 columns?
   - How do I indicate the width for each of the columns?
   - How do I use ADDSTRING to add two columns of data for the entries in the listbox?

Thanks for your help, again.

I think you should look at LISTVIEW, not LISTBOX.  LISTVIEW allows more than 1 column of data.

Here's a multi-column listbox for you to look at (attached)

Very cool, I did not know that ListBox could do that.  Is the 'SETLBCOLWIDTH d1,1,85' line what allows the columns?

Thanks,

Billy Bob,

From the IWB Help file:
Sets the width in pixels of columns in a multi-column list box. A multi-column list box has fixed column widths

If you create a list box in the dialog editor, you can set a flag to create a multi column list box
